Help: target the paragraph that is a descendant of the main-content class. Add a font-weight property and set the value

I put in CSS: main-content p { font-weight: bold; }

Hi Kathy! You are very close, but you are missing a very important piece of syntax. In this example, "main-content" is the class name. To target classes in CSS, we need to use "." ex. .main-content p {}

Good luck!

Thanks, Mike! I thought I'd tried that already, but went back and tried again :)
