We will begin to look at simple and complex sentences. What do you know about this topic? What do you know about conjunctions, independent clauses, dependent clauses, and possibly interjections? What do you want to know?

I would like to know when its the best time to use a compound sentence. Can you use it in every sentence or does it have to be a special case?

There is no "best time". Remember, you want to have a variety in your writing. Thus, you should be using a mix of simple, compound, and compound complex sentences.

I remember learning about independet clauses and dependent clauses and when you combine them you get I am pretty sure a compound sentence. But I'm not 100% sure. I want to learn more about it please?

Yes, when you combine two independent clauses by using a conjunction (and a comma!) you get a compound sentence.
The trick is to notice if it is really two independent clauses. Do not confuse this with compound subjects and compound predicates, as one independent clause can have both (and thus still be a simple sentence).
