Hi Tidjani,

I feel you may have misunderstood the 2nd Task. You have the first task correct (Your first line of code). The 2nd task is syntactically identical to the first task, just with different text. Instead of name variable, you will need to create a variable named pastTenseVerb. And instead of saying "enter name here: " it should probably read "enter verb here: ". Although that doesn't matter, you can have it say what you would like it to. So, everything else is identical to the first line, except for those two things.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:

Thanks Jason! Output a sentence that takes both the name and past tense verb using a single statement. It should look like this: name really past tense verb this coding exercise.

I get stuck there! Can you please help me?☺

You need to change the name for second String variable, you calling it name* again, and task asks you to call it **pastTenseVerb :)

Hope that helped,
