Can we use "there is" a main clause? and independent clause starts with a word "then"?

1."This is because they have already gone home". In this sentence "because they have already gone home" is an dependent clause of independent clause "this is". Here my doubt is "this is" main clause?
2."We went to the movie and then we went to restaurant near the theatre". In this sentence "then we went to restaurant near the theatre" is a independent clause. Here my doubt is, can we start independent clause with "then"?

user nanu Here is my question. I s "this is" a main clause? It certainly is, but it requires a complement.
