Answer:

The sentence is incorrect. It is a run-on sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent sentences are groups of words that have a subject and a predicate and that can express a complete thought.

When we join two independent sentences incorrectly, we have a run-on sentence. Run-on sentences can be divided into two kinds: comma splice and fused sentence. A comma splice happens when we use only a comma to join the two sentences. A fused sentence occurs when we don't use any punctuation at all.

The sentence "We are moving to Cincinnati in July I'll go to school there" is a run-on sentence of the fused kind, since it has no punctuation. To make it correct, there are a few options:

- We are moving to Cincinnati in July; I'll go to school there.

- We are moving to Cincinnati; In July I'll go to school there.

- We are moving to Cincinnati in July, and I'll go to school there.

- We are moving to Cincinnati in July, so I'll go to school there.
