I am on task 1 of 2 and for some reason it will not work!

I am on task 1 of 2 and on the first course and I believe the 2nd set of videos. I just can not get the question right and I do not know how to explain my problem. This is the question. In this task we're going to declare two strings. First, declare a constant named name and assign to it a String containing your name.

Second, declare a constant named greeting. Set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant.

As an example, the final value of greeting could be "Hi there, Linda". I just need some tips or something to work with . Thank you!!!!! : )

strings.swift 
let name = "Joshua"
let greeting = "Hi their, \(name)."

let finalGreeting = greeting + "How are you?"

You misspelled "there" as "their" in the greeting variable's string.

Those words may sound the same, but they mean different things.
