Animations and Hover

Hi everyone, I just finished the animations section of the Front End Web Development track and the instructor mentioned using the hover pseudo element to start or stop an animation. Can somebody show me how to do that? Thanks!

Here is the syntax for the hover pseudo element:

selector:hover {property:value;}

For example, this code would change the color of the text for a link to red when you hover your mouse cursor over the link.

a:hover {color: red;}

I hope this helps!
