Please help me.

A 'compound' tense is one which employs an auxiliary word, such as have. The Present is a simple tense 'I go', the past is also simple 'I went', but the Perfect is compound 'I have gone'. 'Have' is the auxiliary. Some compound tenses have two-word auxiliaries such as the Future Perfect 'I shall have gone'.
