Now, and habits. annule covers both "I cancel" and "I am canceling" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and annulé does not — ai annulé.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so annulons gives you annulais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; annuler never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on annuler-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.

What this table tells you about annuler
The past participle is annulé, 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 annuler-, 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: annule, annules, annulent — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous and vous carry an audible ending.
The imparfait is built on the nous-present stem, so once you know annulons you already know annulais, annulait and annulaient. Futur proche keeps annuler untouched.
