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

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

What this table tells you about gérer
The past participle is géré, 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 gérer-, 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: gère, gères, gèrent — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous and vous carry an audible ending.
The imparfait is built on the nous-present stem, so once you know gérons you already know gérais, gérait and géraient. Futur proche keeps gérer untouched.
