Uncaught ReferenceError questions is not defined

the console is telling me that there is a problem on line 2 that is not opening the prompt but i cannot find it.

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

in line 2 you reference questions, but you have only defined question... hence the reference error. Change line 1 to var questions = .... or change line 2 to var questionsLeft = ' [' + question + ' questions left]';
