HTML is the markup language that identifies the parts of your page. Body, headers, paragraphs, list items, links, images, etc.
CSS is the language used to take those parts of your page and present them to users such as, font sizes, font families, font styles, colors, placement on the page, background images and colors, etc. Then you also have JavaScript which adds the functionality of the page. Such as show/hide elements, form validation, user actions and animations. You combine all those elements/languages together to build the final web page product users read, see and interact with.
