Now, and habits. voyage covers both "I travel" and "I am traveling" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and voyagé does not — ai voyagé.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so voyageons gives you voyageais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; voyager never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on voyager-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.
What this table tells you about voyager
The past participle is voyagé, 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 voyager-, which is just the infinitive — the endings are the whole story, nothing new to learn for this tense.
In both the present and the imparfait, je, tu, il/elle and ils/elles are one sound: voyage, voyages, voyagent — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous and vous carry an audible ending.
voyager softens its stem before a hard vowel, which is why the imparfait reads voyageais but voyagions. The change follows the ending, not the stem — nous is always the exception.
