You can refer to the "String Concatenation" video, it provides a lot of insight.

First objective is pretty straight forward

Second objective you can use + symbol to combine two strings

Third objective: In the video 

print(name + "sleeps all night and " + name + "works all day!")

It prints out Andrew sleeps all night and Andrew works all day!

Instead of printing you are just setting the string to a variable.

name = "Andrew"
sentence = name + "sleeps all night" + name + "works all day!"

Thanks Anthony, I finally got it. I think I got confused with the "x" and "y" business thinking I was creating new variables within a variable if that makes sense.. I'm getting it! I appreciate your help!
