Could you post you're code? From the error I think you separated the two strings you're trying to combine on separate lines of code. They should be on the same line.

The commas are used to separate the different values in the line. You should leave out the comma after time_ago_in_words() if you want to add the word " ago" to it. (with a space before the word)
