Why doesn't my code work for this challenge?

Wondering what's wrong with this code and why it wont work for the challenge?

"<h2>There once was a [adjective] programmer who wanted to use JavaScript to [verb] the [noun].</h2>"

var adjective = prompt('Please give me an adjective'); var verb = prompt("Please give me a verb"); var noun = prompt("Please give me a noun"); alert("All done. Ready for the message?"); var sentence = "<h2>There once was a" + adjective + "programmer who wanted to use JavaScript to " + verb + "the " + noun."</h2>";

document.write(sentence);

Your final sentence is a bit off. This is how it should be:

var sentence = "There once was a" + adjective + "programmer who wanted to use JavaScript to " + verb + "the " + noun+".";

The change is the after the noun I concatenated the period as another string.
