Am I close?

I am trying to see what I am missing and the video is not super helpful

strings.py 
'name' = "Frank"
'subject' += "Treehouse loves"
print("{} {}".format(subject,name))

You need to differentiate between a variable and a string. name and subject are variables 'empty boxes' that you place strings in. 

name = "Frank"
subject = "Treehouse loves " + name
print(subject)
