HTML quiz: "Add a nested ordered list to the "Shapes" list item."

I'm sure I'm getting it right but it keeps saying it's wrong?

<ul> <li>Shapes</li> <ol> </ol> <li>Colors</li> </ul>

The ordered list is now under "Shapes", so why is this considered incorrect?

Please help, thanks!

remember to add another list as a nested list to a list item:

<li>List Item

    <ol>

    </ol>


</li>

notice how the ol tags are inside the opening and closing li tags.

Sorry, first time post. Didn't realize I had to use the three back ticks.

do the three ticks, add a new line, post your code, go to a new line and add the three ticks. the tick is the button to the left of the 1 key. not sure what the character is called.
