Dear teachers!
Could you please tell me if I am right?

When we go home, we shall eat dinner.

The italicised sentence (whole) is a matrix clause.
The underlined sentence is a subordinate clause (Adverb clause).
The bold sentence is a main clause.

Thank you very much in advance
Best regards.

Absolutely spot on. (I confess I'd never heard the term "matrix clause" until your question, by the way - I had to look that one up. It's fun when something new crops up, so thank you).
