Selenium How to find element inside element

Is it possible find element inside another element? If we have html like this one

<div> 
<span>Some text 1 </span>
<p>Other text 1</p>
</div>
<div> 
<span>Some text 2 </span>
<p>Other text 2</p>
</div>
<div> 
<span>Some text 2 </span>
<p>Other text 2</p>
</div>

is it possible to do something like this

IList<IWebElement> elements=driver.FindElements(By.TagName("div"));
for (int i = 0; i < elements.Count; i++)
{
   string text= elements[i].FindElement(By.TagName("span")).Text;
}

I have tried multiple times and in second iteration it is always finding me the the text from first element.

Use a CSS selector and let it do the work for you...

foreach (IWebElement element in Driver.FindElements(By.CssSelector("div > span")))
{
    Console.WriteLine(element.Text);
}

This will find all SPANs that are children (>) of a DIV.

do you want to get p and span inside div ?

using Xpath() or CssSelector()

IList<IWebElement> div_childs = driver.FindElements(By.Xpath("//div/*"));
// or
//IList<IWebElement> div_childs = driver.FindElements(By.CssSelector("div *"));
foreach (var child in div_childs)
{
   string text = child.Text;
   string tag_name = child.TagName;
}
