Hi Mohamed; you only need to replace the colon symbol (:) instead of the single dot (.) between a tag and link pseudo-class selector. So the colon (:) applies before any pseudo-class selector (ex. :link, :active, :hover, :first-child, .... etc). therefore, the answer to the code challenge will be the following:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below / .intro { font-size: 1.25em; / 20px / 16px */ line-height: 1.6; }

.intro span { font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; }

a:link { text-decoration: none; }
