Now, and habits. rends covers both "I give back" and "I am give backing" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and rendu does not — ai rendu.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so rendons gives you rendais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; rendre never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on rendr-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about rendre
The past participle is rendu, 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 rendr-, 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: rends, rend — 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 rendons you already know rendais, rendait and rendaient. Futur proche keeps rendre untouched.
