Start with petimus and let me know what you decide. Remember these three parts to each Latin verb form:
Basic meaning and form = the infinitive
A syllable or word to indicate verb tense. If there's none, that means it's in the present tense.
Endings that will Match the person or pronoun of the subject.
I tried the site, but it wont do what I need
If you expect some website to just give you the right answers, I think you're out of luck. But if you use that website correctly, you can figure out each verb yourself. Here's one example:
petire -- the infinitive for the first verb on your list; it means to seek or to ask for.
There is no syllable or helping verb to indicate tense; therefore, this is in present tense.
-mus is the ending, and that ending always means 'we.'
petimus = we seek or we ask for
You need to figure the others out. Then I'll check them for you.
we are seeking
they came
you (pl) were feeling
you (pl) lead
I shall kill
he has made
she had been led
you (sing) will have been placed
they had been fortified
Can you check them please?
Please double-check them all -- and number your answers so they match.
1we are seeking
2they came
3 they are being heard
4you (pl) were feeling
5you (pl) lead
6I shall kill
7he has made
8she had been led
9you (sing) will have been placed
10they had been fortified
1. yes
2. no (tense)
3. no (tense)
4. yes
5. no (tense)
6. yes
7. yes
8. no (person)
9. no (person and tense)
10. no (tense)
So, when you say tense do you mean that instead of "they came" it's they will come?
Okay, now it's
1 we are seeking
2 they came
3 They hear
4 you (pl) were feeling
5 you (pl) will lead
6 I shall kill
7 he has made
8 he had been led
9 we have been placed
10 they are being fortified
Yes, tense has to do with whether it's present, imperfect (past), future, etc.

Please use the website I gave you in the beginning. For example, entered "venio" in the search box at the top, and look what appears:

Find "veniunt" here and determine what tense this verb form is.
You can do the same for all the others. If you don't find the form you're looking for, then click on View the passive form of this verb to see if the form you want is there.
I'm posting this at the top of the newest posts, too.
