TMS is the acronym for tetramethylsilane, formula Si(CH3)4, whose protons are arbitrarily given a chemical shift of 0.0 ppm. This is the 'standard' in 1H NMR spectroscopy and all other proton resonances, called chemical shifts, are measured with respect to the TMS, and depend on the individual (electronic) chemical environment of the hydrogen atoms in an organic molecule - 1,1,1-trichloroethane here.

The chemical shifts quoted in ppm on the diagram of the H-1 NMR spectrum of 1,1,1-trichloroethane represent the peaks of the intensity of the chemical shifts of (which are often groups of split lines at high resolution) AND the relative integrated areas under the peaks gives you the ratio of protons in the different chemical environments of the 1,1,1-trichloroethane molecule.

Interpreting the H-1 NMR spectrum of 1,1,1-trichloroethane

In terms of spin-spin coupling from the possible proton magnetic orientations, for 1,1,1-trichloroethane I have only considered the interactions of non-equivalent protons on adjacent carbon atoms.

For relatively simple molecules, the low resolution H-1 NMR spectrum of 1,1,1-trichloroethane is a good starting point (low resolution diagram above).

There is only one singlet peak, since the three protons occupy the same chemical environment, AND ...

there are no protons on an adjacent carbon atom, so this single resonance cannot be split, hence the very simple 1H NMR spectrum of 1,1,1-trichloroethane even at high resolution.
