Now, and habits. envoie covers both "I send" and "I am sending" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and envoyé does not — ai envoyé.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so envoyons gives you envoyais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; envoyer never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on enverr- — not the infinitive envoyer. The conditional reuses this stem.
What this table tells you about envoyer
The past participle is envoyé, 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 enverr-, which is not the infinitive envoyer. This stem has to be learned, and it is the same one the conditional uses later.
In both the present and the imparfait, je, tu, il/elle and ils/elles are one sound: envoie, envoies, envoient — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous and vous carry an audible ending.
The imparfait is built on the nous-present stem, so once you know envoyons you already know envoyais, envoyait and envoyaient. Futur proche keeps envoyer untouched.
