ਲਿਖਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਟੈਮ ਬਦਲਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰ nous ਅਤੇ vous ਨੂੰ ਛੱਡ ਕੇ ਬਾਕੀ ਰੂਪ ਇੱਕੋ ਜਿਹੇ ਸੁਣਦੇ ਹਨ।

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

What this table tells you about déménager
The past participle is déménagé, 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 déménager-, 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: déménage, déménages, déménagent — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous and vous carry an audible ending.
déménager softens its stem before a hard vowel, which is why the imparfait reads déménageais but déménagions. The change follows the ending, not the stem — nous is always the exception.
