JavaScript JavaScript Foundations Arrays Methods: Part 3

Why can't I concatenate the first and second variable with the string "dog"?

I'm trying to use the concate method as shown in the video and add the word "dog" to the array, but it's not working. Am I doing this wrong?

      var first =  ["The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps"]
      var second =  ["over", "the", "lazy"];
      var saying = first.concate(second, "dog"); 
      var shortSaying = saying;
      var sayingString = saying;
    </script>
  </body>

I've tried quotes, no quotes, creating a variable with the value "dog", adding dog to the variable second, and also using the [] as shown in the video. Nothing seems to work.

var saying = first.concat(second, "dog");

The method we learned here is called concat(), not concate() :)
