I soon returned home because I was upset(identify the type of sentence)?
Compound sentence
When can because be used at the start of a sentence?
When beginning a dependent clause, but it must also contain an independent clause."Because of the new law, we cannot go hunting as planned." This sentence is correct because it contains a clause that can stand on its own, an independent clause."Because we cannot go hunting as planned." This sentence isn't correct because of the word "because", making the clause depend on another independent clause."We cannot go hunting as planned." This sentence is correct because it does not have the word "because", so it does not rely on another independent clause.

That's correct. An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a sentence because it expresses a complete thought. When it is missing a subordinate clause or other elements necessary for a complete sentence, it becomes a sentence fragment.

But then he moved independent or dependent clause?
"He moved" is the independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete sentence. "But then" is a subordinating conjunction that introduces the dependent clause which adds more information about the action in the independent clause.

What is an independent clause?
An independent clause is a group of words that can stand on their own as a sentence. Something like "Johnny ate the apples." An independent clause has to have the same requirements as a sentence (Subject and verb), and has to be able to stand alone.The reason it isn't the same thing as a sentence is that we discuss independent and dependent clauses as parts of simple, compound, and complex sentences. Therefore, the sentence could be "Johnny ate the apples, which prevented mom from making her famous apple pie." "Johnny ate the apples" is still an independent clause, but it is part of a larger sentence (in this case it is joined to a dependent clause and the sentence is a complex sentence).If the sentence were joined to another independent clause, the sentence would be compound (and yes, you can have compound-complex sentences, which require at least two independent clauses and one dependent clause).An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone by itself. It is basically a simple sentence, For example : "I went to the movies." it is a simple sentence.Example 2: "I went to the movies, because I did not want to stay at home.""I went to the movies" is an independent clause, because it can stand alone and at the same time make sense. While "because I did not want to stay at home." is a dependent clause because it does not make sense when it is alone.
