Now, and habits. grandis covers both "I grow up" and "I am grow uping" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and grandi does not — ai grandi.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so grandissons gives you grandissais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; grandir never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on grandir-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about grandir
The past participle is grandi, 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 grandir-, 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: grandis, grandit — 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 grandissons you already know grandissais, grandissait and grandissaient. Futur proche keeps grandir untouched.
