Hello Luis.

Before you use the <img> tag, make sure the image exists on the internet. Then you can mention the image location(Reference) by typing the location of that image when using the <img> tag.

Hope this will help you out a little bit.

See the HTML code example below:

The <img> tag is written as <img src="" alt=""> (no end tag) with the image URL inserted between the double quotes of the src attribute.

<img src="myimage.jpg" alt="My Image">

Hi Luis! You had the image tag correct in your answer, you just didn't need the link or paragraph tags :):

    <section>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
           </li>
            <li>
              <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
             </li>
          <li>
            <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
          </li>
      </ul>
    </section>

Hope that helps :). Let me know if you have any questions!
