String name = console.readLine("what is your name? ");
console.printf("%s", name);
String pastTenseVerb =console.readLine("pastTenseVerb");
console.printf("%s", pastTenseVerb);
The printf() function takes 2 (or more) arguments
arg 1 - the String, with placeholders (%s)
arg 2 (3,4,etc) - the variables to switch for the placeholder (in order)

30,617 Pointsyour final printf() statement should look like this
printf("%s really %s this coding exercise",name,pastTenseVerb);
the first argument is the string with 2 placeholders. the 2nd and 3rd arguments are the strings to substitute
make sure you include the declarations (above)
