Now, and habits. déjeune covers both "I have lunch, to have breakfast" and "I am have lunch, to have breakfasting" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and déjeuné does not — ai déjeuné.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so déjeunons gives you déjeunais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; déjeuner never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on déjeuner-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about déjeuner
The past participle is déjeuné, 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 déjeuner-, which is just the infinitive — the endings are the whole story, nothing new to learn for this tense.
In both the present and the imparfait, je, tu, il/elle and ils/elles are one sound: déjeune, déjeunes, déjeunent — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous and vous carry an audible ending.
The imparfait is built on the nous-present stem, so once you know déjeunons you already know déjeunais, déjeunait and déjeunaient. Futur proche keeps déjeuner untouched.
