This is your syntax error: String pastTenseVerb = console.raedLine("");

you typed wrongly raedline("") instead of readline("");

Hey avinash,

you are very close :)

Just add some instructions inside the parenthesis. Like "Your name please", or "Enter a pastTenseVerb"

And change raedline("") to readLine()
