Incomplete sentences or sentence fragments are sentence parts that are written as complete sentences. They do not express complete thoughts; their meaning is incomplete.
Example: Kenya is an African country. Along the coast of the Indian Ocean.
Correction: Kenya is an African country that lies along the Indian Ocean.
Run-on sentences are sentences with two independent clauses together with no punctuation and no conjunction separating them.
Example: They wanted to go swimming the pool was closed.
Correction: They wanted to go swimming. The pool was closed.
or
They wanted to go swimming but the pool was closed.
Ambiguous sentences are sentences that have more than one possible meaning.
Example: Put the box on the table by the window in the kitchen.
Correction: Put the box onto the table that is by the window in the kitchen.
Take the box that is on the table and put it by the window in the kitchen.
