What is a "running-on" sentence?
There's no context in this point, I'm sorry.
I just remember that once my English teacher, who I've lost contact with, said that my sentence
was running-on, which I had no idea what it meant and she did not explained ,either.

"run-on", not "running-on". A run-on sentence is two or more sentences strung together without any punctuation between them. Here's a run-on sentence: I drove to the grocery store and went in after I found a parking spot of course then I got some things and I paid for them but I found I had no money so it was very embarrassing and I left the store without the things that I wanted to buy and got in the car after that I just drove home and I told my friends what happened and they thought it was funny but I didn't because it was so embarrassing.

- To correct this problem, separate the run-on sentence into several sentences.
