Hi Shraddha,

On the step of the challenge, they want you to add the pseudo element that will insert the content after .progbar

Here is how to do that, in your code you put an "a" anchor selector but you don't need that.

.progbar::after {
  display: block;
  width: 50%;
  height: 100%;
  border-radius: inherit;
    background-color: #5ece7f; 
}

That should pass the first step of the challenge. Hope this helps and happy coding!
