Now, and habits. corresponds covers both "I correspond, to match" and "I am correspond, to matching" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and correspondu does not — ai correspondu.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so correspondons gives you correspondais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; correspondre never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on correspondr-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about correspondre
The past participle is correspondu, 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 correspondr-, 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: corresponds, correspond — 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 correspondons you already know correspondais, correspondait and correspondaient. Futur proche keeps correspondre untouched.
