Usually it means the compiler is lost because you're putting stuff where they shouldn't be.
Such as declaring a method inside another method. Can't do that

[wintry raft]

"illegal start of expression" specifically means that it was expecting an expression and you gave it something that can't possibly start an expression

[fading sluice]

usually means you're writing code in the wrong place (e.g. trying to define a function inside another function)
