How to put a variable into curly bracket using .format()

name = "caro"
print("my name is {}.format(name)")
subject = "Treehouse loves {}.format(name)"

The "print" line can be work, however, the "subject" line cannot be work. Is there anyone to help me figure out this problem? Thank you so much!

strings.py 
name = "caro"
print("my name is {}.format(name)")
subject = "Treehouse loves {}.format(name)"

You're so close!

You should put the ".format(name)" after you close the string

name = "caro"
print("my name is {}.format(name)")
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)
