I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong or missing here

everything seems right until i get to this task and i add try before the return. I'm not sure what i'm missing

trial.py 
def add(num1, num2):
    try:
    num1 = float(num1)
    num2 = float(num2)
    except ValueError:
        return None
    else:
        return float(num1 + num2)
