Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
I am struggling to see the error I have in my code here.

The error I get is:
" Failed: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)."

Your code so far

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

// Only change code below this line
const wordBlanks = "I have a " + myNoun + " And it is " + myAdjective + " yesteray it" + myVerb + " so" + myAdverb + " it fell to the ground"; // Change this line
// Only change code above this line

console.log(wordBlanks);

You have a console.log in your code, so you should be able to see what your string value is. Check it carefully and you should see where there are problems with missing spaces.

3

console.log(wordBlanks); ?

I included that and had to remove it after the error persisted

4

Yes, that is not causing your code to fail. It’s the construction of the string itself which is faulty. Put the console.log back in again and have a look.

I just did that now,I still have an error. I watched the video few times and I still get the error

6 

const myAdjective = "big";

const myVerb = "ran";

const myAdverb = "quickly";

// Only change code below this line

const wordBlanks = "I have a " + myNoun + " And it is " + myAdjective + " yesteray it " + myVerb + " so" + myAdverb + " it fell to the ground"; // Change this line

// Only change code above this line

console.log (wordBlanks)```

The error : " `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)."

When I console.log your string it prints the following:
“I have a dog And it is big yesteray itran soquickly it fell to the ground”

Can you see where there is a problem with spacing?

The problem was my spacing. This error took me an hour to rectify :roll_eyes: :cold_sweat:
