What did I do wrong here ?

Am I missing something ...

Multiple.java 
String name = console.readLine("Enter name  ");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Write a past tense verb    ");
consolef( "%s is %s" name,pastTenseVerb);

You third line should use the console.printf method as shown in the video before the challenge. Also the challenge asks for some specific text for the third line as well. The correct one should look like this:

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

But I would encourage you to go back and review the previous video if you are unsure about how the console.printf method works.
