What I did wrong this time?

?

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

Hi

You need to remove "learning" and replace it with the %s - since that is the past tense verb you are inputting. Like this:

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