you forgot the closing li tags for your li elements. They should look like this: <li></li>

A navigation element is essentially an unordered list, so you will want to use the unordered list element, which you will want to nest inside of the nav element. Have a closer look at how you have closed your list item elements too.

Have a go again, and if you're still stuck, please post your code here so we can help you :) You can refer to the Markdown Cheatsheet at the bottom of the page for instruction on how to post code.
