If I understand correctly, you are trying to put an anchor (link or a) tag within a nav tag? You would do it like this:

<nav>
     <ul>
          <li>Portfolio</li>
          <li>About</li>
          <li>Contact</li>
     </ul>
</nav>

Updated answer. I think the problem was that you didn’t wrap the links in list item tags (li).

The structure is just <li>[text]</li>

I think later in the challenge it will have you add links which would look like this:

<nav>
     <ul>
          <li><a href=“index.html”>Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href=“about.html>About</a></li>
          <li><a href=“contact.html>Contact</a></li>
     </ul>
</nav>
