My code isn't working even as I follow the video

Hello :)

I can't seem to get past this...my code it write very similar to displayed in the video but that last part of my code seems to to cancel the prompt from working. I am sure this is basic but I just can't work it out... my code below :)

var adjective = prompt("Give me a adjective?");
var sentence = "<h2>Once there was a " + adjective;
var noun = prompt("Give me a noun?");
var verb = prompt("Give me a verb");
var sentence += " dog who liked use computers to " + verb;
var sentence += " the " + noun + ".</h2>";
document.write(sentence);

I worked it out.... I just needed to remove the var from the second 2 sentence syntax.

Correct code is...

var adjective = prompt("Give me a adjective?");
var sentence = "<h2>Once there was a " + adjective;
var noun = prompt("Give me a noun?");
var verb = prompt("Give me a verb");
sentence += " dog who liked use computers to " + verb;
sentence += " the " + noun + ".</h2>";
document.write(sentence);
