Hey Sardor,

You're so very close... instead of a dash (or minus sign), you need the + (plus) sign in the pseudo-class selector. (3n+4). Think of it as you want to add (advance) each step.

img:nth-child(3n+4) {
    clear: left;
  }

Keep Programming! :) :dizzy:

:point_right: Close, but you need a "+" not "-".

You also need the img tag name before the pseudo-class:

  img:nth-child(3n+4) { clear: left; }

Help please! It keeps asking me if I am floating the images left? This is my answer: @media (min-width: 607px) { img:nth-child(3n+4) { float: left; clear: left; } }

For those who got stuck on this challenge. There are two separate img rules you need to make.

@media (min-width: 607px) { img{ float: left; }

img:nth-child(3n+4){ clear: left; } }
