Hello,

You are having any problem with the exercise or you just don’t know what the main is used for?

The main tag in html is used to differentiate between the main content of the website from all the other stuff which may or may not be directly related to the main content of the website such as the sidebar, footer, header or the navigation links.

The main content is used as a container to contain all the important content which the webpage is made for as well as to be used by accessibility devices.

For example a screen reader is a device which is used by blind people to access the internet. this device literally reads out everything on the webpage so that the person using it can access the webpage. Now imagine a website which doesn’t use a main tag, there is no way for a blind person to access the content without going through all that noise ie the content in the sidebar or the nav links.

Hope this helped! :slight_smile:
