The challenge is asking that you create a rule for .main-pg that you added in your HTML. It seems like you tried adding the rule in the HTML and the CSS file. So start by removing that class{.main-pag} bit from your HTML, because this is incorrect syntax and will cause an error.

The third part of the challenge you're stuck on is asking you to add the border using the border shorthand. It looks like border: <border-width> <border-style> <border-color>;. Where you will replace those with the values they provided you:

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>
    <p class="main-pg">My amazing website</p>
  </body>
</html>

.main-pg {
  border: 4px solid red;
}
