About Faulty Sentence Structure
Faulty sentence structure includes fragments, run-on sentences, comma splices, faulty parallelism, misplaced modifiers and unclear coordination or subordination. It is distinct from a single spelling or punctuation mistake because the problem lies in how the sentence's parts are arranged and related.
