Hi Isaiah!

Task 4 is asking you to set the grid-gap property.

And make sure to indent two spaces for the property values. It makes the code much easier to read.

Like this:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.container{
  max-width: 1200px;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-rows: 200px 300px 100px;
  grid-template-columns: 200px 400px 200px;
  grid-gap: 20px; /***  This is what was missing for task 4  ***/
}
