How to add a nested ordered list to the "Shapes" list item?

<ul> <li>Shapes</li> <ol> <li>sun</li> </ol> </ul>

This is how I added. But it keeps showing wrong. Can somebody explain to me why it is wrong and what's the right answer? Thank you!

As stated, you need to nest an ordered list inside of a list item. To achieve this, you'll want to drop down your closing li tag on Shapes and write the ordered list.

Take a look:

<ul>
  <li>Shapes
    <ol>
      <li>Square</li>
      <li>Circle</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
  <li>Colors</li>
</ul>

See how I've opened the Shapes list item?
