181 Pointsconsole.printf line not working
I don't know what I have done wrong here
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
Console console = System.console();
String name = console.readLine("What is your name? ");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("What is your past tense verb? ");
console.printf = ("%s really %s this coding exercise",name,pastTenseVerb);

231,269 PointsThe comment that says "I've imported java.io.Console for you." is telling you that you do not need this line:
Console console = System.console();
Also, when you call "console.printf" there should not be an equal sign ("=") between the method name and the parentheses.
