If you go back a couple of videos (to this one), you can see how to nest lists.
However, for quick reference, you would nest it just like you would nest any other element:
<div>
<ul><!-- this ul is nested inside the div above it -->
<li>Shapes <!-- this li is nested inside the ul -->
<ol><!-- this ol is nested inside the li (it is between the li's opening and closing tags, i.e. it is nested inside it) -->
<li>Square</li><!-- these lis are nested inside the ol -->
<li>Circle</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Colors</li>
<li>Another list item</li>
</ul>
</div>
I recommend rewatching the previous videos to make sure you absorb all of this information and truly understand it, though, as these are important, core concepts that you need grasp!
