.main-nav li:first-child {
  border: none;
  border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
  border-top-left-radius: 5px;
}

: goes after li not after .main-nav

hope it helps

Hi Abdullahi,

You made one minor mistake with targeting the li in the main-nav. This correct use of the pseudo class in this challenge is:

.main-nav li:first-child {
}

Hope is helps
