You have to put the class inside of the tag, like this:

<p class="any-class">We are talking about element classes.</p>

Another example:

<div class="container"></div>

I hope that helps a little bit.

Hey paul, remember thats class's and id's go inside the tags.

so it would be

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