Now, and habits. établis covers both "I establish" and "I am establishing" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and établi does not — ai établi.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so établissons gives you établissais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; établir never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on établir-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about établir
The past participle is établi, 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 établir-, 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: établis, établit — 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 établissons you already know établissais, établissait and établissaient. Futur proche keeps établir untouched.
