All the tenses are important. But there is a case for considering the present tense to be most important, because, for most verbs, it shows the infinitive which is used as a basis for the other tenses.

e.g. To jump (infinitive)

Present tense: I jump, you jump, we jump, they jump, he/she/it jumps

Future: I/you/he/she/it/we/they will jump.

Past: I/you/he/she/it/we/they jumped

There isn't one single most important tense in English. However, the simple present tense is essential for stating facts or habitual actions, while the past tenses are crucial for discussing events that have already occurred. Lastly, the future tense allows for communication about events that will happen.
