Simple tense means there is only one verb in the sentence. So a verb phrase cannot be a simple tense.
She makes hats. -- present simple -- one verb (makes)
She is making hats -- present continuous -- two verbs (am making)
The two tenses that will never have auxiliary verbs are the simple present tense and the simple past tense. In these tenses, the main verb stands alone without the need for an auxiliary (helping) verb to form the sentence. For example, in the simple present tense, "I eat" and in the simple past tense, "She ran," the main verbs "eat" and "ran" do not require auxiliary verbs to convey the intended meaning.
Simple tenses are present simple and past simple. Theses tenses have one verb.I like Kimchi - present simple.We walked the dog yesterday - past simple (regular verb)He ate all the kimchi - past simple (irregular verb)
No.Past simple and present simple are called simple because they have only one verb - a main verb, no auxiliary verbs.
Auxiliary verbs, also known as helping verbs, can be added to a main verb to create a verb phrase. Examples of auxiliary verbs include "is," "can," "will," "have," and "might." When combined with a main verb, they help convey different tenses, moods, voices, or aspects of the action.

Well, the verb is known as the simple predicate and the entire predicate is known as the complete predicate. A verb phrase is basically a series of verbs. Like when you say, "It could be bad." Verb phrase = the main verb and all its helping verbs.

In the phrase "I am absolutely certain," "am" is a linking verb, which connects the subject "I" to the adjective "certain." It is not an action verb or a helping verb in this context. Helping verbs typically assist main verbs in forming tenses or moods, while linking verbs serve to connect the subject with a subject complement.
