You have the first two tasks good to go (minus a prompt telling the user what to input :p). From there you just need to create the printf statement as provided. 

String name = console.readLine("Enter your name");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter a past tense verb");
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise", name, pastTenseVerb);
