7,488 PointsYou are closing the html tag at the start of the file, then closing the body tag right after open it too. Then you reopened the html tag again. You can only have 1 html tag for open and for closing, 1 body tag for open and for closing, 1 head tag for open and for closing. The other kind of tags you can repeat them over and over inside the body tags
The code should look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<p>My first paragraph!</p>
</body>
</html>
The <html></html> tags encapsulate the whole document. Between the <body></body> tags you put the other tags like the paragrapgh tag in this case.

<body> <p> </p> </body>
In between the paragraph elements is where, when it asks if it asks, you add words to form a sentence or more.
