Jacob Mishkin has it right. Remember the purpose of <nav> and you can figure it out yourself. <Nav> stands for navigation, so everything inside of that element should be how to navigate your website (think top bar with many options to click on). To make those options, you want to create an ordered list that is inside of the navigation. Now, that list is identified as not only a list, but a list used for navigation. Hope this helps!

close the nav element after you closed the unorderlist element. Like so:

<nav>

 <ul> </ul>

</nav>

The closing nav tag should go on the empty line underneath the ul element. In other words, Jacob is right.
