I don't understand how to do this? How is my code wrong? Can you please help me?

I am adding my name variable into the line. Is this right?

strings.py 
name = "Miguel"
subject = "Treehouse " + " loves" + "{}".format(name)

You are adding your name, but you've changed the string.

You should use the string "Treehouse loves {}" exactly as provided in the instructions. Don't break it up into pieces and reassemble it.
