It should look something like this:

// I've imported java.io.Console for you.  It is stored in a variable called console for you.// I've imported java.io.Console for you.  It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine("What is your name:  ");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Past Tense Verb:  ");
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise", name, pastTenseVerb);
