:point_right: The term you're looking for is "after".

The "pseudo-element that will insert content after the element" is "::after".

FYI: first-element is not a valid CSS keyword. Perhaps you were thinking of first-child, but that is a pseudo-class, not a pseudo-element (and not related to this challenge).

Thanks Mr Parker was confusing the word first-element and first child it did work
