I suck at grammar but verb tense translate like this:
(Yes I used a book because I do not know all of the the tenses off hand, and no this is not all of them)

les temps de l'Indicatif = Indicative Mood
les temps de l'Imperatif = Imperative Mood
les temps du Subjonctif = Subjunctive Mood

les temps Simple = The Simple Tenses
le Présent = The Present
l'Imparfait = The Imperfect
le Passé = The Past
le Futur = The Future
Le Conditionnel = Conditional Mood

Les temps Composés = The Compound Tenses
le Passé Indéfini = The Past Indefinte
le Plus-que-Parfait = The Pluperfect
le Passé Antérior = The Past Anterior
le Futur Antérior = The Future Perfect
Le Conditionnel Antérior = The Conditional Perfect

le Participe = The Participle

So in this case Indicatif Passé Composé would be the Indicative Compound Past. And anybody who is good at grammar please feel free to improve and better organize that list.
