1. To import one style sheet into another you use the @import directive, like this: @import url('styles.css');.

2. To import a stylesheet into a document, you can use the HTML <link /> tag, like this: <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='styles.css' />.

3. To directly embed a style into an element, use the style attribute, like this: <div style='color:blue;'>.

4. The difference between a CSS ID and a CSS class is that an ID is applied to only a single element, whereas a class can be applied to many elements.

5. In a CSS declaration, ID names are prefixed with a # character and class names with a . character, as in #myid and .myclass.

6. In CSS the semicolon is used as a separator between declarations.

7. To add a comment to a stylesheet, you enclose it between /* and */ opening and closing comment markers.

8. In CSS you can match any element using the * universal selector.

9. To select a group of different elements and/or element types in CSS, you place a comma between each element, ID, class, etc.

10. To make one CSS declaration of a pair with equal precedence have greater precedence over the other one, you append the !important declaration to it, like this: p { color:#ff0000 !important; }.
