When I get to the end of the multiple strings challenge, the challenge will not recognize my %s format and mark my challenge as incorrect.

System.out.printf("%s %s %s %s", "Hello","brave","new","world");

your code should look like this
String name = console.readLine("Input your name ");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Input the pastTenseVerb ");
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise", name, pastTenseVerb);
The String formatter %s will be replaced by your Strings name and pastTenseVerb
