The <span> element is used to group inline-level elements. Like the <div> element, <span>
is not a useful or meaningful element on its own, but it is extremely useful

<p>Here is some text <span>with a group of text</span> singled out for some purpose.</p>
The usefulness of this element will become more apparent as you learn Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
