Hiya Daisy! You might wanna add some spaces between words when concatenating strings. For example , check this out(and mind the details and how to use whitespace to your advantage):

fave_food = "pizza"
fave_hobby = "I " + " love " + fave_food

You're on the right track.

subject = "Treehouse " + "loves" + name
# returns "Treehouse lovesDaisy"

because there is no space after the "loves"

A cleaner looking way to do this challenge would be

subject = "Treehouse loves " + name
# notice the space in the challenge description of "Treehouse loves "
