Now, and habits. renouvelle covers both "I renew" and "I am renewing" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and renouvelé does not — ai renouvelé.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so renouvelons gives you renouvelais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; renouveler never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on renouveller- — not the infinitive renouveler. The conditional reuses this stem.
What this table tells you about renouveler
The past participle is renouvelé, 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 renouveller-, which is not the infinitive renouveler. This stem has to be learned, and it is the same one the conditional uses later.
In both the present and the imparfait, je, tu, il/elle and ils/elles are one sound: renouvelle, renouvelles, renouvellent — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous and vous carry an audible ending.
The imparfait is built on the nous-present stem, so once you know renouvelons you already know renouvelais, renouvelait and renouvelaient. Futur proche keeps renouveler untouched.
