public static void main(String[] args) {} <-- See This?
Console console = System.console();
// Nameis a_adjective_ noun. They are always adverb verb. String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: "); String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: "); String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: "); String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: "); String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending with -ing: ");
console.printf("Your Treestory:\n-------\n"); console.printf("%s is a %s %s. ", name, adjective,noun); console.printf("They are always %s %s. \n", adverb, verb); <--It needs to end here

I am not aware if any other mistakes are in your code, but this should solve your problem based on the code you posted. Also make sure that the Console object is imported at the top of the java document:
import java.io.Console;
Craig Dennis
Treehouse TeacherI think that the import line needs to be there and you need to get the instance, maybe one is missing?
import java.io.Console;
\\ ...
Console console = System.console();
console.printf("The instance is lower cased \n");
\\...

public class TreeStory {}
public static void main(String[] args) {}
Console console = System.console();
// __Name__is a__adjective__ __noun__. They are always __adverb__ __verb__.
String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: ");
String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending with -ing: ");
console.printf("Your Treestory:\n-------\n");
console.printf("%s is a %s %s. ", name, adjective,noun);
console.printf("They are always %s %s. \n", adverb, verb);
Above is what my whole program looks like. This is the error I am getting:
String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending with -ing: ");

TreeStory.java:17: error: class, interface, or enum expected
console.printf("Your Treestory:\n-------\n");

TreeStory.java:18: error: class, interface, or enum expected
console.printf("%s is a %s %s. ", name, adjective,noun);

Courses Plus Student 397 PointsI agree with Craig, however I want to reach a few lines up and ask if you're missing a curly bracket?!
If you wouldn't mind sending me a PM, if we get hose here on TreeHouse, and I'll branch out to you further?? Thanks!!
