SO how would you explain this to a Creole student when the sentences only use one verb? Ex: Corn was planted. Mayi plante. or I am going home. M ale lakay. or I will see you tomorrow? M ap we w demen? All 3 ex use PS and PP. No helping verb used.

You're right, no infinitive form is used here.
Corn was planted - Yo te plante mayi (past tense of the verb 'to plant')
I am going home. - M prale lakay (PP of verb 'to go')
I will see you tomorrow. - M ap wè w demen. (Future form of verb 'to see')

Examples of instances where infinitive form is used:
They're going to plant corn. - Yo prale plante mayi.
I am going to go home. - M pral ale lakay.
I am going to see you tomorrow. - M prale wè w demen

Do you have any lessons on the Timeless verb forms of Creole with Present and Progressive?

In Haitian Creole the 'timeless' verb follows right after the "helping verb".

Verbs, in Haitian Creole, always retain their infinitive form.

The helping verb may be in the present, past, or progressive forms.

Check out lessons on present, past and progressive forms from the labels on the right side of your screen.
