Hi, can you post the code/question given? Somewhere on this page should be 'Markdown Cheatsheet' which shows how to add code like this:

my_color = input("What is you're favourite colour?")
print("the colour {} is my favourite".format(my_color))

I think you are closer to the beginning than Robert's methodology (which you will learn later).

In this case they want you to separate the string into two parts with the variable in between:

print("The color", favorite_color, "is my favorite!")

See how the variable you named previously goes in between the two strings in the print statement?

That should print this: The color green is my favorite!

(provided you chose green for the value of your variable).

Hope this helps!
