A run-on sentence is when two independent clauses (i.e. complete sentences) are joined with no conjunction or punctuation.

Example : "He tried medication he did not like the way it made him feel."

(needs a period or a conjunction such as "and" or "but")

Example : "We were leaving the house the door had to be locked."

(a period, or the word "so" after house)

* A common misconception is that the run-on means using many multiple clauses and conjuctions, of a long or twisted construction. But this is a style error, not a run-on sentence.
