Need help on Quiz task 3 my code is Console.printf = ("%S really %S, name, past tense verb);

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

Johnasan,

Nothing wrong in the first 2 lines but the third line has 4 bugs: Console.printf = ("%S really %S, name, past tense verb); //"Console" supposed to be "console", no "=" operator, "S" supposed to be "s" and you have missed the end quotes " after the second %s operator.

Pleaase modify your theird line of code to: (((console.printf ("%s really %s", name, past tense verb);))) It will owrk.
