I don't quite understand this

using System;

namespace Treehouse.PracticeSession
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {

            Console.Write("Enter a thing: ");
            string thing = Console.ReadLine();

            // TODO Declare and assign a "thing" string variable.
            // Example: "movie", "book", "color", etc.

            Console.Write("What is your name: ");
            string name = Console.ReadLine();
            // TODO Prompt the user with the text "What is your name?" 
            // and assign their value to a "name" string variable.

            Console.Write("what is your favorite? " + thing " ");
            string favoriteThing = Console.ReadLine();
            // TODO Prompt the user with the text 
            // "What is your favorite <thing>?" 
            // and assign their value to a "favoriteThing" string variable.
            Console.WriteLine(name + "'s favorite " + thing + " is: " + favoriteThing);
            // TODO Write the user's name and favorite thing to the console.
            // Example: "My name is James and my favorite movie is Toy Story."
        }
    }
}

here it says : on line (21,62) : error CS1525: Unexpected symbol ` '

why is that?

Would appreciate your help!

It looks like you're missing an operator between thing and the quoted space " ".

I assume you intended to concatenate those with another "+":

            Console.Write("what is your favorite? " + thing + " ");

I was quite sure I added it seems like I wasn’t looking at it. Or maybe I was too tired
