Not sure how to complete this challenge

Add labels for the two checkboxes that say "Fast Shipping" and "Subscribe to Newsletter". Then add line breaks after the labels.

Bummer: You need to add a <label> element with its "for" attribute set to "shipping" within the <form> element.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <option value="red">Red</option>
        <option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
        <option value="purple">Purple</option>
        <option value="blue">Blue</option>
        <option value="green">Green</option>
        <option value="orange">Orange</option>
      </select>
      <label>Shirt Size:</label>
      <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size"><label for="small">Small</label><br>

      <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size"><label for="large">Large</label><br>

      <label>Fast Shipping: </label><br>

You're super close! As the error message suggests, you need to add a 'for' attribute to your label elements, and use the relevant input id as the value, so your label knows which checkbox it's pointing to. Like this:

      <label for="shipping">Fast Shipping: </label><br>
      <input type="checkbox" id="shipping" value="fast_shipping"> 

      <label for="newsletter">Subscribe to Newsletter: </label><br>  
      <input type="checkbox" id="newsletter" value="subscribe">
