All three are used to hold content, but they are different.

`<div>`	Block	Generic container to group sections and for layout
`<span>`	Inline	Generic container to style a small part of text
`<p>`	Block	A paragraph of text, with a meaning

<div class="card">
  <p>My favourite colour is <span style="color:red">red</span>.</p>
