Answer (EN)

The `<nav>` tag is used to group navigation links in HTML.

---

### Purpose:

The `<nav>` tag marks a **navigation section of the page**: a block containing the main links for moving around the site (menu, table of contents, navigation bar, and so on).

---

### Example:

```html
<nav>
  <a href="index.html">Home</a>
  <a href="about.html">About us</a>
  <a href="services.html">Services</a>
  <a href="contact.html">Contacts</a>
</nav>
```

---

### Features:

- Helps **search engines and screen readers** understand where the navigation links are.
- **Several `<nav>` tags** can be used on a page (for example, the main menu and the footer).
- Usually links (`<a>`) or lists (`<ul>`, `<li>`) are placed inside `<nav>`.

---

### Example with a menu list:

```html
<nav>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="/news">News</a></li>
    <li><a href="/contacts">Contacts</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>
```

---

### Conclusion:

The `<nav>` tag is used to **logically group navigation links**, to mark a menu or navigation blocks on a site.
