Try doing .format() directly on the string :)

name = "arturo"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

Good luck! ~alex

You forgot the part about the assignment.

When they say "Assign this to the variable subject again.", it's a hint that you will need an assignment operator (=) between subject and the rest of the line.
