Troubles with Database Foundations in Joining Tables and Aliasing

This is the qustion.

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.

and i already wrote this 

'''SELECT movies.title,genres.name FROM movies INNER JOIN genres;'''

but it end up with this text. You're not retrieving the movie 'title' first and the genre 'name' second. Use an INNER JOIN.

this is a link to the question http://teamtreehouse.com/library/joining-tables-and-aliasing-2

thank you.

You're missing the ON clause from the inner join. The query should be something like this

SELECT movies.title, genres,name FROM movies INNER JOIN genres ON movie_column = genres_column
