Why is it that the number "3" is not showing up in my prompt? Please help!

Here is my code. Hope the link work this time around. Thanks.

https://w.trhou.se/4cz4co45i0

var questions = 3;
var questionsLeft = "[" + questions +  "questionsLeft ]";
var adjective = prompt("Please type an adjective " + "questions left");
var sentence = "<h2>There once was a " + adjective;
var noun = prompt("Please type an noun");
var verb = prompt ("please type a verb")
alert("All done, let's what you came up with")
sentence += noun + "who know how to code she was so happy, she started ";
sentence += verb + "she was up all night.";
document.write(sentence);

I'm going to guess you want the 3 to appear on the third line.

You aren't concatenating the questionLeft variable in the prompt string.

You set the questionsLeft variable to "[3questionsLeft ]"

Doing this:

var adjective = prompt("Please type an adjective " + questionsLeft);

Would return a prompt with: 

Please type an adjective [3questionsLeft ]
