When I saw the code "<p class='tag location'> My home is Salem, Oregon</p> " in the workspace, I wonder why the code can have two classes and what those two classes do.

Classes can be used to style an element in a specific way and that element may need to take on the style of several different classes. If an element does have more than 1 class it should always be contained in the same class attribute separated by a space between each class name. Ids on the other hand are different. An element can only have 1 ID.

Like in this example project first tag class was class= ''tag name" and the other is class= "tag location". So, once we decide the CSS styling script of class= "tag" than all the class with the name "tag" will have occupied the same styling property. Am I right?

.tag {
border: solid black 1px;
}
then every element with the class tag would have a solid, black, 1 pixel border around it.
