import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    /*  Some terms:
        noun - Person, place or thing
        verb - An action
        adjective - A description used to modify or describe a noun
        Enter your amazing code here!
    */
  String name = readLine.console("Enter your name: ");
  String adjective = readLine.console("Enter an adjective:  ");
  console.printf("%s is very %s", name, adjective);
}

Hi tyler,

change from readLine.console to console.readLine.

The code should look like this:

String name =  console.readLine("Enter your name: ");
String adjective =  console.readLine("Enter an adjective:  ");
