The simple tenses are past, present, and future.

Simple tenses are present simple and past simple. These tenses have one verb, that is why they are called simple tenses.

I like Kimchi - present simple.

We walked the dog yesterday - past simple (regular verb)

He ate all the kimchi - past simple (irregular verb)

The Past Simple refers to an event that happened at a specific time in the past. e.g. I wrote a letter. The Present Simple does not really refer to time at all. It is used to say that something is a general truth or true for all time. e.g. I like apple juice. Consequently this tense is sometimes called the Present Indefinite The Future Simple(or Simple Future) refers to an event in the future, but there are various ways of doing this. e.g. (1) The train arrives at 6 p.m. = Present Simple tense for the future. (2) The train will arrive at 6 p.m. = Future Simple

The Present Perfect Simple is an event in the past which has some relevance to the present. e.g. I have written a letter. (so they will now know how I feel about the matter) The Past Perfect Simple refers to an event in the past which occurred before another event in the past. e.g I had just finished my supper when (something else happened)Future Perfect Simple is used for a completed event in the future which has some relevance to the past. e.g. At the end of this month I will have lived in this country for two years.

There are two simple tense present simple and past simple.

They are called simple because they have only one main verb no auxiliary verb.

Present simple:

I like ice cream. She likes ice cream. - the verb is bold.

Past simple:

I went to the cinema. She ate the cake. - the verb is bold.
