```p.main-pg { border = 4px style = solid; border color = red;
}```
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<p class= "main-pg">My amazing website</p>
</body>
</html>
p.main-pg {
border = 4px
style = solid;
border color = red;
}

And check your property names. A good rule to keep in mind is that all property names are either single words or words joined with underscores ("_"). There are no spaces in property names.
Also, the instructions say "create a rule for the .main-pg class"; so you don't need the "p" in the selector.
And "border" is actually a shorthand for several properties, so you can use it to set all 3 of these at the same time. Just separate the values by spaces.
.main-pg { border: 4px solid red; }

A few items jump out at me: you are missing the semi-colon after "4px", you are using equals (=) instead of a colon (:) after each property, and you need a hyphen in border-color.
All together that would be
p.main-pg { border: 4px; style: solid; border-color: red; }
