Sentence Structure (simple, compound, complex)

clause = a group of words including a subject and verb
independent clause = a clause that can be a complete sentence by itself
	Examples: I will cook dinner, my roommate will watch TV
dependent clause = a clause that cannot be a complete sentence by itself (it needs to have an independent clause with it)
	Example: when I get home

simple sentence = a sentence with a single independent clause
	Example: My roommate will watch TV. I will cook dinner.
complex sentence = a sentence with at least one dependent clause
	Example: When I get home, I will cook dinner.
compound sentence = a sentence with more than one independent clauses
	Example: I will cook dinner and my roommate will watch TV.
compound-complex sentence = a sentence with a dependent clause and multiple independent
	Example: When I get home, I will cook dinner and my roommate will watch TV.
