Well, I recently saw that 'It's simple as can be' not 'It's as simple as can be' . Could you explain that as well?

I guess you use 'correct' like 'accurate' and you use 'true' like 'real' ???

Thank you so much for the help.

Yes, that's right. 'Correct' means that there are no errors. 'True' means that the statement reflects the reality. Sometimes they can both be used. If I say 'You are Turkish' you might answer 'That is true' or 'That is correct'.

simple is an adjective; time is a noun.

The determination of what is grammatical and what is not often depends on what sort of word you have.
