Create a new variable to store a past tense verb, so in camel case that is pastTenseVerb. Accept input from the console

this is the question what should we do

Multiple.java 
// I've imported java.io.Console for you.  It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine("abdulrahman: ");
String name = console.readLine("enter your adjective here: ");

Insert a new line of code, like the previous ones, but this time ask for a verb (so the prompt text would be something like "enter a past tense verb: "). And store it in a String type variable, just like before, but name it pastTenseVerb.

Inside the braces after console.readLine() is the prompt text what appears when you run the program. What you type in as answer to the console will be stored in the name, adjective, etc. variables. So e.g. the program will first ask you 'enter your name here: ', then you type in e.g. 'Abdulrahman', and that will be the value of the name variable, then the second prompt appears, asking 'enter an adjective here: ', for which you could type in e.g. 'good', which will be stored in the adjective variable, and so on.

String name = console.readLine("enter your name here: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("enter an adjective here: ");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("enter a past tense verb here: ");
