lease make sure that you are following the format `__name__ really __pastTenseVerb__`

confused on what this means can someone please help thanks.

Multiple.java 
// 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 your verb: ");
console.printf(" %s name, really, pastTenseVerb,%s");

it seems to accept:

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