What is the difference between simple and compound sentence?

What is the definition of dependent clause and independent clause and an example?
An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence; a dependent one cannot. An independent clause (or main clause, matrix clause) is a clause that can stand by itself, also known as a simple sentence. Independent clauses contain a subject and a predicate. Multiple independent clauses can be joined by using a semicolon or a comma plus a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).

Is walking to the parking garage a phrase or clause?
"Is walking to the parking garage" is a clause because it contains a subject ("walking") and a verb ("is").
Can a subordinate conjunction make an independent clause into a dependent clause?
This question is somewhat ambiguously phrased, because independent and dependent clauses are mutually exclusive categories, and a clause that is introduced by a subordinate conjunction is not independent by definition. However, substituting a coordinating conjunction in a independent clause by a subordinate conjunction can convert an initially independent clause into a dependent clause.
