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

What this table tells you about offrir
The past participle is offert, 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 offrir-, 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: offre, offres, offrent — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous and vous carry an audible ending.
The imparfait is built on the nous-present stem, so once you know offrons you already know offrais, offrait and offraient. Futur proche keeps offrir untouched.
Worth knowing about offrir
Offrir conjugates like a regular -er verb in present tense (je offre, tu offres, il offre), not like most -ir verbs such as finir (je finis). It follows the ouvrir family pattern.
No irregular forms; the -er-like present conjugation (offre, offres, offrent) may surprise learners expecting standard -ir patterns.
