Does the <article> tag go always within a section or we can use it independently?

Im just wondering if we can use the article tag only within section element or if we can use it independently as well

Hey olympia iliadou 👋

Great question! You can use <article> for something that can stand on its own, like a blog post. You can use it within <section> if you want, but it's definitely not a must. <section> is more for grouping things together, and <article> is for something you could read by itself.

Hope this answers your question 🙂
