You are super close. You don't need the "," in between ".main-nav" and "li".
If you use a comma in between it would select the "main-nav" class and the "li" elements. When you remove the comma it means that you are selecting the "li's" within the "main-nav" like this:
.main-nav li{
display: inline-block;
}
``
Happy Coding!
