What am i doing wrong?? Please help im stuck.

It tells me to give paragraph class main-pg 4x wide solid red and this is my code but it doesn't work, what do I need to do to fix it? I'm stuck. Thank you for the help.

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

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>

    <p class="main-pg">My amazing website</p>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
p .main-pg {
  border: 4px solid red;
}

You were close! You have an extra space after the p element in your css, so right now you are essentially telling the css to look for the p element, and then look for the .main-pg class inside of it. Instead you want to tell the css to look for the p element, and then the .main-pg class on that element like this:

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