Hey Tatenda! I recommend you rewatch the video on formatting. The reason that your not passing is because your not using format correctly. When using format you put a {} in your text, where you want the format to go, and then you put a .format(whatever) after your string. In this case your code should look like this:

subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

The variable subject is now storing the string "Treehouse loves tatenda". Hope this helps!
