Now, and habits. bâtis covers both "I build" and "I am building" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and bâti does not — ai bâti.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so bâtissons gives you bâtissais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; bâtir never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on bâtir-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about bâtir
The past participle is bâti, and it takes avoir in the passé composé — so it never changes shape, whoever the subject is. No agreement to remember here.
The futur simple is built on bâtir-, which is just the infinitive — the endings are the whole story, nothing new to learn for this tense.
In the present, je, tu and il/elle are one sound: bâtis, bâtit — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous, vous and ils/elles carry an audible ending.
The imparfait is built on the nous-present stem, so once you know bâtissons you already know bâtissais, bâtissait and bâtissaient. Futur proche keeps bâtir untouched.
