Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


// Example
var ourStr = "I come first. ";
ourStr += "I come second.";

// Only change code below this line

var myStr = "This is the ";
myStr += "first sentence. ";
myStr += "second sentence. ";

You are only adding the text “second sentence.” to myStr after the first update. To see a clearer picture, below your code, use console.log(myStr) and you should be able to see what the issue is.

ok, so now i put this:

var myStr = "This is the ";
myStr += "first sentence. This is the second sentence. ";

and when i input console.log(myStr) it shows up as this:
This is the first sentence. This is the second sentence.

So it should be right?

You are returning the string. But read the instructions carefully. You need to do it twice.
var myVar = "Here is my text.";
myVar += " And here is some more text.";
console.log(myVar); // returns the above concat. What does myVar now equal?
What do you need to add to myVar at this point to create the string needed?
