# --description--

Of course, you can make items consume multiple rows just like you can with columns. You define the horizontal lines you want an item to start and stop at using the `grid-row` property on a grid item.

# --instructions--

Make the element with the `item5` class consume the last two rows.

# --hints--

`item5` class should have a `grid-row` property.

```js
assert(
  __helpers.removeWhiteSpace($('style').text()).match(/\.item5{.*grid-row:.*}/g)
);
```

`item5` class should have a `grid-row` property which results in it consuming the last two rows of the grid.

```js
const rowStart = getComputedStyle($('.item5')[0]).gridRowStart;
const rowEnd = getComputedStyle($('.item5')[0]).gridRowEnd;
const result = rowStart.toString() + rowEnd.toString();
const correctResults = [
  '24',
  '2-1',
  '2span 2',
  '2span2',
  'span 2-1',
  '-12',
  'span 2span 2',
  'span 2auto',
  'autospan 2'
];
assert(correctResults.includes(result));
```
