Create a new variable to store a past tense verb, so in camel case that is pastTenseVerb. Accept input from the console using the readLine method.

Multiple.java 
// 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 verb = console.readLine ("Enter pastTenseverve:   ");

To pass the challenge, you will want to change String verb to String pastTenseVerb. Then in the next step you can learn and use the console.printf() function to output a line to the console.

They want the variable name to be pastTenseVerb. Your variable name is verb. You put the camel case version in the string that will be used to prompt the user, when actually this is a spot where you can write normally with spaces. 

String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine ("Enter past tense verb:   ");
