I'm new to Treehouse and every time I have gotten to one of programs that I write myself I keep getting errors when I try to compile at the console.printf part
// 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 =("name really pastTenseVerb this coding exercise.");

console.printf =("name really pastTenseVerb this coding exercise.");
to
console.printf ("name really pastTenseVerb this coding exercise.");
