Give the paragraph a border that is 4px wide, solid and red. (this is intro to html and css) I can't figure this out

I don't understand this question. I've tried all sorts of ways to place this and nothing works

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>

    <p class="main-pg">My amazing website</p>

   </body>
</html>
styles.css 
.main-pg {
}
border. 4px

Hi Tonya Davis

You were pretty close and I think you get the concept but just have a few little changes in the code so don't worry, you were almost there!

The CSS selector was created correctly, however, you need to add the property and values inside. The question asked the border to be 4px solid red.

.main-pg {
  border: 4px solid red;
}

Keep up the good work and this will all start to make sense really soon.
