My code is bugged i think?

Ok so i've been trying to figure this out but i am having no luck. When i try to preview my workspace the prompt does show up but all that comes up is the Adjective and Verb. the noun doesn't even make it. also it doesn't show how many questions i have left. heres my snapshot https://w.trhou.se/caauwv4moc thank you if you figure it out!

var questions = 3;
var questionsLeft = '[' + questions +' questions left]';
var adjective = prompt('Please type an adjective' + questionsLeft);
questions -=1;
questionsLeft = '[' + questions +' questions left]';
var verb = prompt('Please type a verb' + questionsLeft );
questions -= 1;
questionsLeft = '[' + questions +' questions left]';
var noun = prompt('Please type a noun' + questionsLeft);
alert('All done. Ready for the message?');
var sentence = "<h2>There once was a " + adjective;
sentence += ' programmer who wanted to use JavaScript to ' + verb;
sentence += ' the ' + noun + '.</h2>';
document.write(sentence);

You are going to have to test it in something not chrome. For some odd reason document.write is not working currently.

The issue was with the lines questionsLeft. You were missing some of the concatanation.
