I dont get it, what is my mistake here?
// 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 pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter a pastTenseVerb: ");
console.printF("%s is very %s", name, pastTenseVerb);

71,830 PointsAs I said, you need to follow the instructions precisely. Remember, it's a computer program that is checking your work.
String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: ");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter a pastTenseVerb: ");
console.printf("%s really %s", name, pastTenseVerb); //must match what is requested

159 PointsHi, thanks for your quick response. I did change the F to f, but still it has a syntax error and an arrow pointing at the p of pastenseverb.

28,694 PointsNicolas, i ran your code with changing the printF to printf, and then changed the "%s is very %s" to match the sentence the test wants. If you're getting a new error, you've probably introduced some new glitch not present in the code you posted earlier.
