I have no idea how this wrong console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise", name, pastTenseVerb);

It tells me it isn't in the correct order.

Hey Cody,

I've tried your code and the challenge passed for me. Could you post your entire code block, including the variables?

String name = console.readLine("Enter Name: ");

console.printf("%s", name);

String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter a past tense verb: ");

console.printf("%s", pastTenseVerb);

console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise", name, pastTenseVerb);

Hey Cody, remove your other print statements (Lines 2 and 4) and the challenge will pass.

Thank you! The other test I did in there told me I wasn't allowed to remove previous things I typed so I figured I had to leave them all there.
