Now, and habits. vends covers both "I sell" and "I am selling" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and vendu does not — ai vendu.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so vendons gives you vendais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; vendre never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on vendr-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about vendre
The past participle is vendu, 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 vendr-, 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: vends, vend — 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 vendons you already know vendais, vendait and vendaient. Futur proche keeps vendre untouched.
