Java Java Basics Using your New Tools Multiple Strings

Why did it give me the response in this format?

The code I used:

  String name = console.readLine("Enter your name here:  ");
  String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective here:  ");
  String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun here:  ");
  String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb here:  ");
  console.printf("%s is very %s because %s %s all night." name, adjective, noun, verb);
}

The response I got:

treehouse:~/workspace$ java TreeStory
Enter your name here: weston
Enter an adjective here: awesome
Enter a noun here: earth
Enter a verb here: rotated
weston is the nameawesome is the adjectiveearth is the nounrotated is the verbtreehous e:~/workspace$

So, instead of filling the sentence out it gave me each part broken up. I never even typed "is the" in the code, not sure how it generated this or what I should change?

Thank you!

Try to add a comma after the string before the name variable

console.printf("%s is very %s because %s %s all night.", name, adjective, noun, verb);
