Tags generally have an opening tag and a closing tag
e.g
<tiltle> </title>
And attributes are their different properties such as
<table align="left/right/center/" height="" width="" bgcolor=""></table>

HTML elements can have attributes.
Attributes provide additional information about an element.
Attributes are always specified in the start tag.
Attributes come in name/value pairs like: name="value"
Here align, height, width bgcolor are attributes of table that give table some properties regarding its alignment, height, width, background color etc.
