Classes in CSS and HTML. How exactly do you use them in the CSS document?

Ummm.... I forgot! How do you define a define a tag which you have given a specific class in HTML in the CSS document? So say your HTML looks something like this:
<p class="default" >Somerandomtext </p>
So in this case how exactly do you formulate the CSS. Is it like this?
p.default {color:red;}

Yes, you can do that.

p.default would select only <p> tags with that class. If you want to apply it to all elements that have class default then you would define the class as just

.default {
     color:red;
}

Thanks so much for the quick response! I was looking for a community where people share questions and knowledge, and I finally found it. I am 12 and started learning HTML and CSS when I was nine, now I am studying JavaScript and Python.
