I'm adding a nested ordered list inside an unordered list but it's giving me an error

See above

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Lists Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <ol>
      <li> Stop </li>
      <li> Drop </li>
      <li> Roll </li>
    </ol>

    <ul> 
      <li> Shapes </li>
      <li> Colors </li>
    </ul>

  </body>
</html>

You actually didn't create a nested list. You closed your <ol> tag before you created the <ul> tag. In doing that you really made two separate lists. The unordered list needs to come before the closing <ol> tag... like so-

<ol>
      <li> Stop </li>
      <li> Drop </li>
      <li> Roll </li>
        <ul> 
          <li> Shapes </li>
          <li> Colors </li>
        </ul>
    </ol>

That's because your list is not nested inside the unordered list.

<ol>
<li>
  <ul>
   <li></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
