This exercise is about using the specialized semantic containers, you won't need the generic "<div>" for this one.

When they say "an element that represents the main content" they are referring to the "<main>" element. I see that you have one, but it needs to be adjusted to enclose the main header and the articles and not the aside.

Also, it looks like you have some overlap. Containers can completely enclose other containers but they are not allowed to intersect.

thank you I finally got it but may you explain further on your last part or the answer with containers not allowed to intersect,

Perhaps an example will clarify it:

<!-- fully enclosed container (good) -->
<main>
  <article>
  </article>  <!-- note that the article started last and ends first -->
</main>

<!-- overlapping/intersecting containers (not allowed!) -->
  <article>
  <footer>
  </article>  <!-- ERROR - the article ends while the footer is still going -->
  </footer>

In this challenge, "main" goes around the h2 heading and the articles.
