pseudo-class

p:first-child behaves as if you added a class to the first p element, these are known as pseudo-class selectors.

pseudo-element

pseudo-element selectors act as if an element was dynamically inserted, for example ::first-line acts in a similar way to you wrapping a span around the first line of text.
