i put on console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise.",name,pastTenseVerb)
it's still a bummer
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine("");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("");
console.printf(" &s really %s this coding exercise",name,pastTenseVerb);

console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise",name ,pastTenseVerb);
