camel cased String variable

it keeps telling"you forgot to define a camel cased String variable named pastTentseVerb"

Multiple.java 
// I've imported java.io.Console for you.  It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine("what is your name?  ");
String past = console.readLine("enter a past Tentse Verb");
                               console.printf("%s %s pie today",name,past);

You're misspelling the variable name. There is no "t" in pastTenseVerb.

Hi, just rename your variable "past" to "pastTentseVerb" this should solve your problem. Don't forget to rename it at your printf method.
