A run-on sentence is a type of poorly-structured sentence in which a lack of proper punctuation makes two separate independent clauses (sentences) appear to be one.
Sentences need to be separated by a period (full stop) or a semicolon. If they are separated by a comma, or by nothing at all, you have a run-on sentence.
Examples:
"I had to read a book it was long." (Correct: I had to read a book; it was long.)
"He went to the store, they were out of tomatoes."
(This type of run-on is called a comma splice. The comma either has to be replaced with a semicolon, as in the above example, or you would need to add a conjunction such as 'but' or 'and' to turn the second part into a dependent clause: "He went to the store, but they were out of tomatoes.")
