Any difference between "simple past" and "past simple"?

[Torsten]

Hi,

I've seen different books using both terms -- past simple and simple past. Is there any difference between them?

Thanks a lot,
Torsten

No.

No, again.

It may be a question of consistency, for some writers: "past perfect"/"past simple", "present perfect"/"present simple".
