the name of the tense

Hi, I was organizing my tenses chart and realize there's only "Pretérito perfecto simple" that can find "fui" in both ser and estar. I cannot find a page that shows "El Pretérito Indefinido", I'm wondering are this two tenses the same thing?

Thanks,

Hayley

Hola Hayley

Yes, El Pretérito Perfecto Simple is El Pretérito Indefinido. 

Here is a table with the different names used in Spain and Latin America for all tenses. Have a look
