You might want to review this part of the Defining a Grid video to see an example.

For the first challenge task, you only need to target the class (note that it's different from the one in the video) and define the display type.

As the instructor says, "A grid container is defined by setting an element's display property to grid." He then shows this done in the video.

Just to be sure, this is an intermediate-level course. You're already familiar with CSS Basics, right? Otherwise, you might want to do that course first!
