  Hey @jillpandya2594, Hopefully this fixes your grid!

  .container {
      margin: auto;
      max-width: 40rem;
      padding: 2em;
      display: grid;
      grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr;
      grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
  }
  
  main {
      padding: 2em;
      background-color: #fff;
      grid-column: span 2;
      align-self: flex-end;
  }
  
  section {
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: column;
      padding: 2em;
      background-color: hsl(179, 62%, 43%);
  }
  
  aside {
      padding: 2em;
      background-color: hsl(180, 62%, 47%);
      line-height: 1.6;
  }

  @byronbyron Can you please explain why this would work?

  @jillpandya2594 Sure! The parent .container has:

  display: grid;
  grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
  

  which defines a square divided into quarters.

  The main element at the top needs to span two columns to achieve the layout, so it has this property:

  grid-column: span 2;
  

  Hope that helps!

  @jillpandya2594 It looks like the quickest and easiest way to get it responsive is to set the .container to display: block; on screens widths smaller than, say 768px. I also like to add a max-width as well like so:

  @media (max-width: 768px) {
      .container {
  		display: block;
  		max-width: 327px;
  	}
  }

  How can I make this more close to the design ? Why cant I view the two columns here?
