This lesson is contradictory

Before this practice, in one of the quizzes, it didn't allow me to wrap the aside element inside the main element, it said something like it's not a good practice, but now the instructor is doing it in this practice.

So what's the right approach? Aside goes inside main tags or not?

Hi Diego,

It's a bit difficult to comment too much withoyut looking at the context of the code or the project. One thing that migth help is if you look around on google for some indicators as to why the code challenge might have told you what it did and why the instructor coded the way they did.

For example I typed "use aside tag insinde main" into google and it came up with this and it might explain what aside might refer to semantically.

Admittedly the information is a few years old but at the time if was a candidate recommendation that aside n HTML 5.1 (CR) the definition of aside be "related to the content of the parenting sectioning content".
