Semantic HTML is a coding style where elements which we use actually have some meaning. Semantic simply put means a logic that has an actual meaning hence comes the name: Semantic HTML, an HTML which is a logic and also has a meaning.

Remember:
to write semantic HTML, avoid using div tags everywhere, instead use elements like header, nav, section, article, aside, footer.

Semantic Elements: <form>, <table>and <article> -> clearly defines its content.
