I dont know where to put %s

Can someone please tell me where should I put the %s?

Multiple.java 
// I've imported java.io.Console for you.  It is stored in a variable called console for you.

    String name = console.readLine("what is your name?: ");
    String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("past tenzse ");
    console.printf(name + "really" + pastTenseVerb + "this coding exercice");

Barisan,

Here you have two String variables "name & pastTenseVerb" so you need two %s to point at them. Try this: (((console.printf ("%s really %s this coding exercise.", name, pastTenseVerb);)))

Hi,

console.printf("Message is %s", message); %s will be replaced by what you stored in message
