I see you are missing an underscore, this will fix it:

What I changed:

<label class="light" for="fast shipping">Fast Shipping</label><br>

to:

<label class="light" for="fast_shipping">Fast Shipping</label><br>

The question is to add labels, so that would be: ''' <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>HTML Forms</title> </head> <body> <form action="index.html" method="post"> <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1> <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label> <select id="color" name="shirt_color"> <option value="red">Red</option> <option value="yellow">Yellow</option> <option value="purple">Purple</option> <option value="blue">Blue</option> <option value="green">Green</option> <option value="orange">Orange</option> </select> <label>Shirt Size:</label> <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size"><label for="small">Small</label><br> <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size"><label for="medium">Medium</label><br> <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size"><label for="large">Large</label><br>

     <input type="checkbox" id="shipping" value="fast_shipping"
  name="user_shirt size"><label class="light" for="fast_shipping">Fast Shipping</label><br>
  <input type="checkbox" id="newsletter" value="subscribe"
  name="user_shirt size"><label class="light" for="subscribe">Subscribe to Newsletter</label><br>

  <button type="submit">Place Order</button>
</form>

</body> </html> '''
