Now, and habits. vieillis covers both "I age, to grow old" and "I am age, to grow olding" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and vieilli does not — ai vieilli.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so vieillissons gives you vieillissais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; vieillir never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on vieillir-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about vieillir
The past participle is vieilli, 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 vieillir-, 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: vieillis, vieillit — 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 vieillissons you already know vieillissais, vieillissait and vieillissaient. Futur proche keeps vieillir untouched.
