It asks you to assign the formatted string to a variable named "subject". Currently your code holds no such variable. Then we're going to use .format on the string "Treehouse loves" to insert the value in the name variable into the curly braces. This will have the result of your subject variable containing "Treehouse loves tanisha". Take a look here:

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

Hope this helps!
