Now, and habits. franchis covers both "I cross, to get past" and "I am cross, to get pasting" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and franchi does not — ai franchi.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so franchissons gives you franchissais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; franchir never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on franchir-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about franchir
The past participle is franchi, 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 franchir-, 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: franchis, franchit — 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 franchissons you already know franchissais, franchissait and franchissaient. Futur proche keeps franchir untouched.
