I new for English and I am read this definition of tenses in a local book I want to confirm it please. please let me a lot.
Tenses:
Tenses tell us the time of the action. They tell us what time the action has happened. Before we move further we need to understand what an action is? An action means what we do that is called an action for example: I am moving now. So moving is an action here and am is the helping verb for the action. I is a subject here.

Anonymous Tenses tell us the time of the action. In a strict sense this is true. In a looser sense -- one that is often adopted in teaching materials -- tenses tell us other things too, such as whether an action is completed, ongoing, repeated, happens before another one, etc.
