My code was working fine until I got to the ' [' + questions + ' questions left]' part.

I'm wondering if anyone could help me find out whats wrong with my code? 

var questions = 3;
var questionsLeft = ' [' + questions + ' questions left]';
var adjective = prompt('Please type an adjective' = questionsLeft);
var verb = prompt('Please type a verb');
var noun = prompt('Please type a noun');
alert('All done. Ready for the message?');
var sentence = "<h2>There once was a " + adjective;
sentence += ' programmer who wanted to use JavaScript to ' + verb;
sentence += ' the ' + noun + '.</h2>';
document.write(sentence);

Hi Jonathan,

Not sure if this is the issue but one thing I've noticed is that this line has an = before questionsLeft instead of a +:

var adjective = prompt('Please type an adjective' = questionsLeft);

No problem. I find that no matter how much I stare at code sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can spot the issue quicker :)
