Ah, you’re on the right track but you misunderstand the syntax slightly. You don’t need to wrap quote marks around variable names. That simply turns the text into a string.
The other thing which you need to bear in mind is that you need to include spaces in your strings, so that your words don’t just all run into each other.

You are so close! Just remember that you need a space in between each word; otherwise, the sentence is smushed together.

This approach to concat strings is outdated! you better use backticks “`”

What are backticks, please? I just started JavaScript, so I don’t know it

7

Should I put a space before and after the word, because putting a space after each word didn’t make a difference

I was able to complete the challenge. I really appreciate all the help I received. Thank you!!

backticks makes it 100 times easier to concat string
"Ahmad " + " Addel" + "!"
becomes

`${firstName} ${lastName} !`
