Usually, your nav element will have an unordered list, with each list item linking to a different page. The nav element itself doesn't do anything special - it's just semantic I believe (it just makes your document more readable). See this documentation over at MDN for an example: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/nav

In your code, you've made the nav the container for your headings. But the h1 and h2 tags are for your logo/home link, while the nav element should be the sibling to the anchor as above. Inside the nav is its children, the ul tags. And the li tags are ul tags' children, which are siblings to each other.
Hope this helps!
