The sentences that include a run-on error are:

  1. I really enjoyed the novel but I did not enjoy hearing the author lecture.
  2. I read until dawn, I finished the book!

Explanation:

  1. "I really enjoyed the novel but I did not enjoy hearing the author lecture." - This sentence is a run-on because it lacks a comma before the conjunction "but." It should be: "I really enjoyed the novel, but I did not enjoy hearing the author lecture."

  2. "I read until dawn, I finished the book!" - This is a classic example of a comma splice, which is a type of run-on error. Two independent clauses are joined with just a comma. It can be corrected by using a semicolon, a conjunction, or by making them separate sentences: "I read until dawn; I finished the book!" or "I read until dawn. I finished the book!"
