nav: hover {
//What you want it to do on hover
}
Or if you have an id name for it then select it by that and then add the : hover after it.

But for example, let's assume your navigation is based on items in an unordered list in a <nav>
element. And you'd like the text of the item hovered over to become bold and red. You could add some CSS like this:
nav li:hover {
color: red;
font-weight: bold;
}
