What would be a situation where someone would want to use something like
p.red { }
vs
.red {}
?

When you only want to select paragraphs with the red class vs selecting all elements with the red class. It’s just a matter of being more specific in your selection.

Well you could be using ”.red” throughout the site but would like your paragraphs to look a little different than the rest. “p.red” is more precise and will only target a paragraph tag with the class of “red”.
.red {color: red}
p.red {color: #aa0101}
