Correct sentence: Tigers use their stripes to hide. Then they pounce when the prey gets closer.
Why this is better (easy steps):strong>
- Capitalize the first word: We write Tigers with a big T at the start of the sentence, not all caps.
- Make two short sentences: It is easier to understand if we say the hiding part first, then the pouncing part.
- Use simple words to show time: "Then they pounce when the prey gets closer" tells us when the tiger jumps.
Another short way to say it: Tigers use their stripes to hide, then they pounce when the prey comes closer.
