Tenses

Hi,

I find I have a very difficult time trying to differentiate the various terms used on your site for verb tenses and what their equivalents are either in Latin American Spanish and/or English. Especially in the "test your knowledge" section. Every time I have to search and search for the English equivalent to make sure I have the right tense being asked for.  

I looked for a list of them on your site and couldn't find any .  Where do I find this  or could you please furnish one with their ( Latin American - if possible) English equivalents. 

My 501 verbs doesn't the same titles for tenses as you have.  For example: Your: Preterito Perfecto , is Perfecto de Indicativo in my dict;, Your Preterito Indefinido is Preterito in mine. 

Help:(
