Would that be correct too?

 var greeting = prompt("Type a Greeting");
var personName = prompt("Type a Person Name");
var dogName = prompt("Type a Dog's Name");
alert("You are Done!");
document.write("<h2>The Fox said " + greeting + "  to " + personName + " and " + dogName + "</h2>");

Yes, that works perfectly fine as well. I believe the way he did it just made it easier to read/change in the future.

You can also use Javascript Embedded Expressions to use your variable directly in a string like below:

/* Receive user input */
var noun = prompt("Input a noun:");
var adj = prompt("Input an adjective:");
var verb = prompt("Input a verb");

/* Alert the user that they are done */
alert('Input has been received. Your story is being crafted.');

/* Create sentence from the pieces. */
var story = `A young boy sold his ${adj} ${noun} to ${verb} a dog, but when he made it to the store they were all out.`; 
document.write(story);
