You've learned HTML. Learn CSS next. Then you will understand.

There is only one div tag and one span tag div is a special tag that does not have any style to it, so you can make your own, this one behave as a block. span tag is just like the div tag, but can be used inline, for text

Hi Olumide Nifemi div is short for division, It is a none Semantic block level element. divs were often used to create sections in a webpage. Now with HTML 5 we don't see them as much anymore because we have more more symantic tags. Such as main, section and article which replaces divs to give it meaning. Span is a none semantic inline element. it is used to style inline elements. Such as text in a p element. I have an example. https://code.sololearn.com/WXpdoa1ifG1s/?ref=app
