using class and id selectors together??

I'm still confused as to what the purpose of using an id selector with a class selector is for, as id selectors are for targeting specific elements (ex: <p>). Would love some clarification :)

id selector is usually assigned to one element while class selector is assigned to multiple elements. id also has higher hierarchy over class selector when styling.
