I don't understand why <nav></nav> is misplaced here?

The prompt is asking me: "Finally, place the top <ul> inside an element that represents a major section of navigation."

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>My Portfolio</header>

    <section>

      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
        </ul>
      </nav>

    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>

    <h2>Welcome</h2> 
    <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>

      <ul>

        <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
        </ul>

    <footer>
    <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
    <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>
      </section>

      </footer>
      </body>
</html>

The <nav></nav> section is correct, but you've got other elements mismatched now. Each task should build on the one before it, so I'm not sure how your earlier tasks passed with the code that you have. The header should contain the nav, plus the <h1> and <p> elements. Then the <section> should begin after the </header>, above the <h2>, and should end with </section> before the start of the footer.

If you need more explicit help, let me know, but hopefully this should be enough to get you squared away.
