var adj = prompt('Begin by typing an adjective');
var noun = prompt('Next, add a noun');
var verb = prompt('Finally add a verb');
alert('Great! Are you ready to read your unique story?');
var sentence = "The amazing ";
sentence += adj + " ";
sentence += noun + " told me YES, I can ";
sentence += verb + " my way into the hearts of millions!! ";
sentence += " Once I said my peace, the men in white coats took me into the quiet room.";
document.write('<h2>' + sentence +'</h2>');

var adj = prompt('Begin by typing an adjective');
var noun = prompt('Next, add a noun');
var verb = prompt('Finally add a verb');
alert('Great! Are you ready to read your unique story?');
var sentence = `The amazing ${adj} ${noun} told me YES, I can ${verb} my way into the hearts of millions!! Once I said my peace, the men in white coats took me into the quiet room.`;
document.write(sentence);

Courses Plus Student 1,922 PointsHmm ok, your code looks much easier to work with/write. Is the backtick workshop in this Javascript track? Thank you for your feedback!
