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

2,751 PointsThe task doesn't say anything about supplying any arguments to the readLine methods. Just keep them empty. When you are printing the result to the console you should not concatenate the string modifier %s, they should be inside of the string. It should look something like this:
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine("");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("");
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise.", name, pastTenseVerb);
