I'm having trouble with this exercise: Output a sentence that takes both the name and past tense verb using 1 statement

I've tried several ways including using the %s for my name variable. Does the pasTenseVerb have "%s" of its own?

Multiple.java

String name = console.readLine("Miguel");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("dominated");
console.printf("%s

Try this:

String name = "";
name = console.readLine("Name: ");
