Does it matter where I use the <p> tags?

My code:

// 1. Declare variables and capture input.
let verb = prompt("Name a verb.");
let adjective = prompt ("Name an adjective.");
let noun = prompt ("Name a noun.");

// 2. Combine the input with other words to create a story.
let story = `There once was a man who ${verb} for his ${adjective} ${noun}. The end.`;

// 3. Display the story as a <p> inside the <main> element.
document.querySelector("main").innerHTML = `<p>${story}</p>`;

I see that they put they used the <p> tags between the backticks in the second section.

I used it at the third section.

// 3. Display the story as a <p> inside the <main> element. document.querySelector("main").innerHTML = <p>${story}</p>;

Does it make a difference if I put it in the second or third part?

// 2. Combine the input with other words to create a story. let story = There once was a man who ${verb} for his ${adjective} ${noun}. The end.;

The method shown in the video will produce the exact same end result, so for functionality which step the tags appear in doesn't matter.

In the code above, there should only be one each of part 2 and part 3; but otherwise, your approach seems to fit the instructions even more accurately than the video example. Good job!   :+1:
