Definition and Usage The <main> tag specifies the main content of a document.
The content inside the <main> element should be unique to the document. It should not contain any content that is repeated across documents such as sidebars, navigation links, copyright information, site logos, and search forms.
Note: There must not be more than one <main> element in a document. The <main> element must NOT be a descendant of an <article>, <aside>, <footer>, <header>, or <nav> element.
<div> tags are used to divide the HTML content up as needed so that you can then use these (and the classes / ids) you add to them to style the page using css laster on.
http://www.w3schools.com I find this site helpful for clarification of terms.
Hope that helped.
