ฤฐnstead of using .main-content p {} i tried p .main-content {} but it didn't work. Aren't they interchangeable?

Thank you for your response but i guess i am asking ; well i am targeting the p element which has main content class

so can't i arrive there instead of looking at all the main-content class elements and choosing onr which has a p element.

i can be looking all the p elements and chosing which has a main-content class. it should arrive the same conclusion, but it doesn't :S
