JavaTester.java:117: error: illegal character: '\u00a0' String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: Â ");Â ^ 1 error

The variable adjective is not defined in the code. Try changing adjective to pastTenseVerb.

The format string does not match the sample output. Instead of "%s really this coding exercise %s", try "%s really %s this coding exercise".
