Angry What is my teacher talking about?

What does my teacher mean by a stringy sentence? What is a wordy sentence? Are they the same as a run on sentence? What is a subordinate phrase? I can not find their meaning antwhere I have researched. HELP!!!!!!!

You haven't looked very far...

Google the following:

wordy sentence
stringy sentence
run on sentence
subordinate phrase

You will find more websites and detail on these subjects than I can write here.
