Java is case-sensitive. Name and name are two different variables. Since you used name instead of Name, you should use name in the printf statement (also true for pastTenseVerb variable). Also the quotes should end before the first variable in the printf statement.

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