I can't seem to find my mistake, can anyone help?

It seems that every way I try to submit this challenge it is giving me a syntax error. I don't see what is incorrect about what I typed? Can anyone point out what I did wrong?

Multiple.java 
// I've imported java.io.Console for you.  It is stored in a variable called console for you.

String name= console.readLine("Matt ");
String pastTenseVerb= console.readLine("Hated");
console.printf (%s really %s this coding excercise. name , pastTenseVerb );

I think your missing quotes around your strings in the parenthesis portion of console.printf. Im sorry if im wrong. That's why the THIS keyword is showing up.
