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've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine("My name is ");
console.printf("My name is %s ", name);
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine( "Enter past tense verb ");
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise.", name, pastTenseVerb);

3,364 Pointsok so i removed the
String name = console.readLine("My name is ");
console.printf("My name is %s ", name);
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine( "Enter past tense verb ");
and it seemed to work!

String name = console.readLine("My name is ");
console.printf("My name is %s ", name);
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine( "Enter past tense verb ");
console.printf("the past tense verb is ", pastTenseVerb);
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise.", name, pastTenseVerb);
i changed it to this but still not working :(
