Minecraft Not Teleporting Me

minecraft-java-edition

Every time I type in /tp Sentinel Gaming -419 43 356 and press enter the bar goes blank and doesn't teleport me. Can anyone explain why this is happening and how I can fix it.
On a side note, every time I try to give myself a Command Block it says That player cannot be found so how can I fix that as well.
Thank You in advance for your help.

Registered usernames can not include spaces. As commands in Minecraft use space as a separator for arguments, they will take "Sentinel" as the name for the player to search for, and then "Gaming" as the second argument (such as x-coordinate or item) and budge everything over. This will cause an error.

If you are on a server or using some kind of plugin/mod that allows you to change your name, you should type your actual account name rather than your set nickname.

If you are using a cracked/pirated version of Minecraft, stop.

If your name contains an underscore ( _ ), make sure you are typing that rather than a space.

As an alternative to typing your name, you could use @p. For example:

/tp @p -419 43 356 

This will target the closest player (which will be the person executing it), and is also shorter than typing/tabbing out your name.
