I got it correct - but when I added a second sentence, the "document.write" no longer worked - why?

Hey everyone,

I got the exercise correct using a different format compared to Dave - I tried to use his format too (using the +=), for practice - but through isolation, I've found out that my last line prevents the document.write from running. Can anyone tell me why?

(last line is

 "setence += "The people in the village then " + pastTenseVerb + " " + "him and smiled." + "</h2>";

Thanks - 

"<h2>There once was a [adjective] [noun] who ate all the [plural noun] in the village. The people in the village then [past tense verb] him and smiled.</h2>"

alert("Ready to play Madlibs?");
var adjective = prompt("Please provide an adjective");
var noun = prompt("Please type a noun");
var pluralNoun = prompt("Please type a plural noun");
var pastTenseVerb = prompt("Please type a past tense verb");

var sentence = "<h2>There once was a " + adjective;

sentence += " " + noun + " " + "who ate all the ";
sentence += pluralNoun + " in the village. ";
setence += "The people in the village then " + pastTenseVerb + " " + "him and smiled." + "</h2>";
alert("All done. Ready for the message?");
document.write(sentence);

You have a typo.

Setence !== Sentence. :D

"setence += "The people in the village then " + pastTenseVerb + " " + "him and smiled." + "</h2>";
// to 
"sentence += "The people in the village then " + pastTenseVerb + " " + "him and smiled." + "</h2>";
