joining tables in SQL

I'm doing the course Database Foundations and having trouble passing a challenge joining tables together. Below is question and my current answer which computer says no.

Question: We have a 'movies' table with a 'title' and 'genre_id' column and a 'genres' table has an 'id' and 'name' column. Use an INNER JOIN to join the 'movies' and 'genres' tables together only selecting the movie 'title' first and the genre 'name' second

Current answer: SELECT movies.title genres.name FROM movies INNER JOIN genres ON movies.genre_id = genres.id;

you need to include a comma between multiple columns when using SELECT:

 SELECT movies.title, genres.name FROM movies INNER JOIN genres ON movies.genre_id = genres.id;
