377 PointsOutput a sentence
Output a sentence that takes both the name and past tense verb using statement. Out should look like this : name really past tense verb this coding exercise.
// 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 : ");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine ("Enter a pastTenseVerb : ");
console.printf("%s + really + pastTenseVerb");

Then, for each token you use in the format string, you need to supply an argument following the string that will be used to substitute the token(s). So in this case:
console.printf("%s really %s", name, pastTenseVerb);
