What am I doing wrong? Output a sentence that takes both the noun and past tense verb using a single statement.

I used this exact code on workspace and also have seen it on the forum but my code is still wrong. Someone please help me!

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

you misspelled pastTenseVerb as pasTenseVerb

  console.printf(" %s really %s this coding exercise", name, pasTenseVerb);

try

  console.printf(" %s really %s this coding exercise", name, pastTenseVerb);

Thanks! That was a bad and honest mistake. I was beating my head against the wall for that one!
