They are only partially similar.
A sentence is complete in itself, a clause - whether a main clause or a subordinate clause - may not be complete.
A dependent clause is similar to a sentence because they are both made of words. And the difference: The Dependent Clause is unfinished while a sentence is.
A simple sentence is a sentence with one clause expressing a single thought. This sentence is a simple sentence. This sentence, though similar to the first, is not a simple sentence.
A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, while the dependent clause relies on the independent clause to make sense.
It have 2 clauses in Complex sentence. It is Dependent clause and Independent clause

A sentence with an adverb or adjective clause is a complex sentence, because an adjective clause is a subordinate clause. A complex sentence must contain one independent clause plus one or more subordinate clauses.
The main clause or the principal clause in a complex sentence; is a key sentence.
A clause can not stand alone in a sentence, whereas an independent clause can stand alone in a sentence.
A preposition introduces a subordinate clause to the main clause of the sentence. For example, both 'to the main clause of the sentence' and 'of the sentence' are subordinate clauses. The words 'to' and 'of' are prepositions. Subordinate clauses written by themselves are not complete sentences. The main clause is still a complete sentence without the subordinate clause. A preposition introduces a subordinate clause. The main clause of the sentence. The sentence.
A complex sentence is a sentence consisting of an independent clause and a subordinating clause.
You make a complex sentence when you have both a dependent clause along with an independent clause.
An independent clause is a part or is a sentence,that has a verb and subject,and can be a sentence all by its self.A dependent clause is part of a sentence that has a subject and ver,but CAN NOT be a sentence alone! ex.independent clause-John is in it.(Can not be a sentence ,John is in what?) ex.dependent clause-John is in the red box.(Can be a sentence,the sentence tells what John is in.)
