Hey Rama,

In CSS when you declare the class name it will automatically affect the element with that class name. So you dont need the p {} in your example. You also only need a colon after your property declaration. It would looks like this.

.main-pg {
  border: solid red 4px;
}

All of the border properties can be applied in a single declaration here, and you only need 4px to declare the width not 4px wide.

Hope this helps

Dylan
