Task 1 is to add class "selected" to anchor, but error references function "live"??

The first task in the challenge is to add class "selected" to the variable "anchor". When I check my work the error says the function "live" is not evaluating anchor.classList("selected"). But I haven't been asked to make the function yet. Any thoughts??

app.js 
var anchor = document.querySelector("a");

//Add the class to the classList "selected"

 anchor.classList("selected");

//Toggle the class "live"
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

  <a href="#">Home</a>

  <script src="app.js"></script>

</body>
</html>

You'll need to make sure to use the .add() method as well:

  anchor.classList.add("YOUR STRING GOES HERE");
