Need Some Help

I have an issue of one of these tests where I need to make the

element as a child of the element. Problem is I don’t know how to make this into a child element for main. Could someone help?

In HTML and CSS, if you nest an element into another element, it become’s its child. For eg.

In the above, “body” is a child of “html”.
Hope this helps.

When referring to a child element, it simply refers to being nested, or placed inside of the element it is referencing.

Example:

<html>
   <body>
       <main> 
           <p>Some text here</p>
           <p>Some more text here</p>
       </main>
   </body>
</html>

So because the <p> elements are inside of the <main> elements opening tag (<main>) and closing tag </main> the <p> elements become child elements of the <main>. Making the <main> element the parent to both <p> elements. Because both <p> elements belong to the parent element of <main>, it would make them sibling elements.

If you would like more clarification feel free to ask!

Had the exact same problem, and after hours of tinkering found that the problem simply is that you need to start the main tag and the top of the first paragraph under you <h2>heading, and end the tag at the bottom of your second paragraph
