Correct sentence: Tigers use their stripes to hide and then pounce when an animal gets close.
- Capitalization: Start with one capital letter only: "Tigers" (not all caps).
- Comma: You don't need a comma before "and then" in this short sentence, so leave it out.
- Word choice: "When an animal gets close" is an easy way to say "once the prey gets closer."
- Meaning of "pounce": "Pounce" means to jump quickly to catch something. So the sentence says tigers hide with their stripes, wait, and then jump to catch the animal.
Good job noticing the sentence! Try writing your own sentence about another animal and I can help fix it too.
