I am stuck in this task can someone help me?

The task says "OK, now use .format() on the string "Treehouse loves {}" to put your name into the placeholder. Assign this to the variable subject (so start with subject =)." I wrote the same thing that the teacher wrote but the bummer says "Be sure to use the {} placeholder and the .format() method.". Can somebody tell me my mistake.

strings.py 
name = "Ramon"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print(subject.format(name))

You must use .format() in variable subject

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