And to add to the options you could use the formatting operator 
provided you know there are only 3 items, 

b = "%s%s%s" % tuple(a)

Or for an indefinite number of strings:

b = "%s" * len(a)
b = b % tuple(a)

So many options. However, to the OP, if you get stuck in 
future its best if you post the erroneous code that you have tried, 
then we can better see where you have gone wrong and thus 
provide clearer guidance on how to fix it. Its better to learn to 
do it your own way correctly than just to see other folks 
attempts .
