Now, and habits. confonds covers both "I confuse, to mix up" and "I am confuse, to mix uping" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and confondu does not — ai confondu.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so confondons gives you confondais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; confondre never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on confondr-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about confondre
The past participle is confondu, 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 confondr-, 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: confonds, confond — 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 confondons you already know confondais, confondait and confondaient. Futur proche keeps confondre untouched.
