What i should do to store a past tense verb
// 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 a verb in a past tense: ");
console.printf("%s %s", Name, pastTenseVerb);

// 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 a verb in a past tense: ");
console.printf("%s really %s this exercise", name, pastTenseVerb);

Besides that you did a great job correctly storing your variables with console.readLine() method.
Also the challenge is wanting you to print out a specific string. It should be <name> really <past tense verb> this exercise.
I've included your code with the updates below, this should pass.
String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: ");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter a verb in a past tense: ");
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise", name, pastTenseVerb);
However, let me know if it gives you any more trouble.
Thanks.
