This is giving me trouble
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine("Enter your name");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter a past tense verb");
console.printf("Your name is %s", name);
console.printf("Your past tense verb is %s", pastTenseVerb);
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise", name, pastTenseVerb);

Treehouse TeacherHi there, karyl charles! Your code would work, but the challenge is asking for only one printf
statement that prints something very specific. It's asking for your last printf statement. Deleting the first two printf
statements will cause this to pass. Remember to take the challenges as literally as possible and try and only do what the challenge is asking for. If you print three strings, and it's expecting one, the challenge could break, which is the case here.
Hope this helps!
