This is something you can easily google. For example https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/span — j08691, Jan 11 '18 at 18:15
Hi, welcome to SO. When you use a tag please make sure to read the definition. In this case, tags is not supposed to be used for html tags. — Elin, Jan 11 '18 at 18:17

One example usage of a  element could be to color a part of text:

<p>My mother has <span style="color:blue">blue</span> eyes.</p>

Definition and Usage

The  tag is used to group inline-elements in a document.

The  tag provides no visual change by itself.

The  tag provides a way to add a hook to a part of a text or a part of a document.
