Passé composé vs Imparfait
When talking about the past in French, there are two different tenses that work together: the passé composé and the imparfait. Although English has verb forms that appear to be exact equivalents for each of these, they don't quite match up in the two languages.

Passé simple
The passé simple is a single-word past tense, equivalent to English's simple past.

Past Participle
The past participle is essential in the creation of compound verb tenses/moods and the passive voice, and it can also be used as an adjective. A2 - Low-Intermediate French • adjectives • tenses moods voices
Past Perfect aka Pluperfect
The past perfect, also called the pluperfect, is a verb tense that distinguishes between two related things that happened in the past, indicating which one occurred before the other. The use of the past perfect is very similar in French and English. B1 - Intermediate French • tenses moods voices
Past Subjunctive
The past subjunctive is the past tense of the subjunctive mood. The exact same verbs, expressions, and conjunctions that call for the subjunctive in the present require the past subjunctive in reference to subjectivity about something that happened in the past.

Perfect Participle
When one thing leads to another, you can use the French perfect participle (e.g., ayant mangé, étant parti) to talk about the first action. In English, this construction is very stilted, so it's usually loosely translated into more idiomatic phrasing. 
Unlike other French suffixes, -ci does not create new words, but rather adds additional meaning to the nouns and pronouns it's attached to.
