You added an ordered list after the Shapes list item.

To add an ordered list to the Shapes list item your code would need to have the ol element within the Shapes li element like below:

<li>
    Shapes
    <ol>
        <li>sonu</li>
    </ol>
</li>

The only valid child element of an ul or ol element is an li element. Anything else that you want to put in a ul or ol element must be contained with a li element that is the child of the ul or ol elements.
