Your question is practically equivalent to, "How do I speak Japanese?" The solution to that which you seek may only be had by continued study. There's no simple way to learn everything you just asked, because it looks like you just asked, "How do I use verbs in Japanese, excluding sentence-ending polite form?"

You've basically asked for an explanation of (in)dependent clauses, compound sentences, verb phrases, compound verbs, etc.
