Now, and habits. suis covers both "I follow" and "I am following" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and suivi does not — ai suivi.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so suivons gives you suivais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; suivre never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on suivr-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about suivre
The past participle is suivi, 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 suivr-, 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: suis, suit — 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 suivons you already know suivais, suivait and suivaient. Futur proche keeps suivre untouched.
