Hi Logan.

You need to use the variable names, instead of the strings u read with the readline.

So you need to use "name" and "pastTenseVerb" - instead of logan and Loved.

// I've imported java.io.Console for you.  It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine("logan"); 
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("loved");
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise", name , pastTenseVerb );
