Now, and habits. mords covers both "I bite" and "I am biteing" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and mordu does not — ai mordu.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so mordons gives you mordais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; mordre never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on mordr-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about mordre
The past participle is mordu, 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 mordr-, 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: mords, mord — 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 mordons you already know mordais, mordait and mordaient. Futur proche keeps mordre untouched.
