Your code so far

const myNoun = "dog";
const myAdjective = "big";
const myVerb = "ran";
const myAdverb = "quickly";

// Only change code below this line
const wordBlanks = "My " + "dog" + " is so " + "big" + " and can " + "ran" + " so very " + "quickly" + "."; // Change this line

Look at what you did:

Do you see how you used the words “dog”, “ran”, “big”, and “quickly” in your solution. You want to use the variables that store those words instead. They are defined at the very beginning of the code.

3

you mean instead of me to use dog i should replace it with myNoun and so on

4

Exactly. You want to use the variables that store those values.

5

have try that but it pass that step but unpass this step… wordBlanks should contain all of the words assigned to the variables myNoun , myVerb , myAdjective and myAdverb separated by non-word characters (and any additional words of your choice

6

but thanks cos i was able to pass that step but the last step has to unpass me

7

What’s your code now? Please post your code.

const myNoun = "dog";

const myAdjective = "big";

const myVerb = "ran";

const myAdverb = "quickly";

// Only change code below this line

const wordBlanks = "The Fat " + "dog" + "chased the " + "big" + "cat, and it " + "ran" + "so " + "quickly. "; // Change this line

// Only change code above this line

Pls it not Validating, what do i do?

hi guys, i still don’t know why the last step keep on saying… wordBlanks should contain all of the words assigned to the variables myNoun , myVerb , myAdjective and myAdverb separated by non-word characters (and any additional words of your choice)… i know am correct or i missing something

Your code so far

const myNoun = "dog";
const myAdjective = "big";
const myVerb = "ran";
const myAdverb = "quickly";

// Only change code below this line
const wordBlanks = "The " + "myNoun" + " was so " + "myAdjective" + " that it " + "myVerb" + " very " + "myAdverb" + "."; // Change this line
// Only change code above this line

You need to use quotes if you wanna use string.
If you wanna use variable, you don’t wanna use brackets.

You still have these variable names in quotes. Remove the quotes from around the variable names.

thanks i was able to get it this time

15

I was stuck on this also. I don’t understand why we are removing the quotes. Please explain. I thought it was all string

16

Variables inside quotes will not be interpreted properly. They will be treated as strings which means their value will not be retrieved and used from the computer’s memory.
