Now, and habits. étends covers both "I extend, to spread out" and "I am extend, to spread outing" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and étendu does not — ai étendu.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so étendons gives you étendais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; étendre never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on étendr-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about étendre
The past participle is étendu, 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 étendr-, 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: étends, étend — 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 étendons you already know étendais, étendait and étendaient. Futur proche keeps étendre untouched.
