Good job! The sentence is correct:

The tiger is a big wild cat with striped fur.

Here is why it is correct, step by step:

  • The tiger = the subject (who we are talking about).
  • is = the verb (the word that tells what the tiger is).
  • a big wild cat = the name for the tiger. We usually put describing words (adjectives) before the noun: size (big) then type (wild).
  • with striped fur = extra information that tells us what the tiger has. The word "with" shows possession or a feature.

Another correct way to say it when talking about all tigers is:

Tigers are big wild cats with striped fur.

Use "The tiger" for one tiger and "Tigers" when you mean all tigers. Try reading the sentence out loud — it sounds clear and correct.
