Answer

To create a responsive grid layout in Tailwind CSS, you can utilize Tailwind's grid utilities which allow you to define columns, gaps, and responsive breakpoints easily. Tailwind provides a set of classes to control the grid's behavior at different screen sizes.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    <div class="grid grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 gap-4">
      <div class="bg-blue-500 p-4">Item 1</div>
      <div class="bg-green-500 p-4">Item 2</div>
      <div class="bg-red-500 p-4">Item 3</div>
      <div class="bg-yellow-500 p-4">Item 4</div>
    </div>
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

The "grid" class initializes a grid container.
"grid-cols-1" sets a single column layout by default.
Responsive classes like "sm:grid-cols-2" and "md:grid-cols-3" adjust the number of columns at different breakpoints.
The "gap-4" class adds spacing between grid items.
