The word simple is used to describe tenses that have only one verb. eg past simple or present simple.
Perfect is used to describe an action that is completed/finished. eg present perfect or past perfect
Perfect tenses indicate a completed action or state, often with a focus on the result or consequences. Simple tenses, on the other hand, focus on the action itself without indicating completion. For example, "She has eaten" (perfect tense) implies that the eating is complete, while "She eats" (simple tense) just describes the action of eating without indicating completion.
The difference between "We included it to support" and "We've included it to support" is that the former uses the simple past tense of "include" while the latter uses the present perfect tense, indicating that the action was completed recently and has relevance to the present moment.
"Do" is used with plural subjects and "does" is used with singular subjects in present simple tense. For example, "I do" and "He does."
Simple tense verbs refer to actions that are completed or habitual without specific reference to time, while perfect tense verbs indicate actions that are completed within a specific time frame or in relation to another point in time. Simple tense verbs include present simple (e.g. "I eat") and past simple (e.g. "I ate"), while perfect tense verbs include present perfect (e.g. "I have eaten") and past perfect (e.g. "I had eaten").
Past tense: She walked to the store yesterday. Present perfect tense: She has walked to the store multiple times this week.
Present perfect progressive and present perfect continuous refer to the same tense and are often used interchangeably. Both tenses indicate an action that started in the past and is ongoing or has just been completed. The choice between "progressive" and "continuous" is mainly a matter of dialect or personal preference.

The future simple tense is used for an action or situation that will occur in the future. Example: We will do our homework after school. The future perfect tense is used for an action or situation that will occur in the future before some other action or situation. Example: We will have done our homework before dinner.
It is the same difference as exists in English between perfect and simple verbs. A perfect verb implies past action as well as continuance in the given tense whereas a simple verb only discusses action in a given tense. For example, if I say "I have walked the dog", it means that I walked the dog prior to my current walking of the dog and that the past walking and present walking was continuous. If I say "I walk the dog", it would seem to be something that is generally something that I do, but is not a continuous action.
Simple is not a verb therefore it doesn't have a past tense. The past of perfect is perfected
"i had" is used in past tense and "i have had" is used in past perfect perspective. That is the only difference. no need to get confused.
The difference between "We included it to support" and "We've included it to support" is that the former uses the simple past tense of "include" while the latter uses the present perfect tense, indicating that the action was completed recently and has relevance to the present moment.
The present perfect tense is used when there is a connection with the past and the present. It's used to denote experience, change and a continuing situation. The past tense, on the other hand, is simple in that it only talks about actions that have happened in the past (and it MUST be used whenever you specify WHEN a certain action took place).
