"Tense" applies to verbs. It gives a reference for when something occured. For example : We are running in the rain. (present tense, happening now) We will run when it stops raining. (future tense = will run) We ran every day last spring. (past tense)

Back shifting refers to the grammatical adjustment of tenses when reported speech is used.
