The use of رح / لح and the conjugations of the verb روح.
How would I use رح / لح in the future tense? Does it have anything to do with using the verb روح?
Also for conjugating روح, I've seen a few different version. How would I conjugate روح for past present and future? For present-tense would I just add عم?
I have also seen "she is going" conjugated as رايحة instead of بتروحب -- which one is right?
This is what I have for past-tense:
"Went" روح رُوحتُ روحتَ روحتِ روحتُوا روحنا روح رَوحتْ روحوا
Present-tense
"To go" يروح بَروح بتروح بتروحي بتروحو منروح بِروح بتروحب بِروحو

Your verbs are all correct except “بتروحب" which should be “بتروح".
رح /لح serves as “will” in English. Look at
Study these future examples ,
اليوم رح نروح لبيت خالي .
بكرا رح روح بكير عالمدرسة.
Examples about past verbs,
امبارح روحوا من السبعة الصبح.
روحت على بيت خالي امبارح .
While
رايح
رايحة describe continuous state
-لوين رايح؟
لوين رايحة؟
Where are you going?
- انا رايحة شوف شو صار معن؟
I am going to see what happened to them.
I hope that helps.

Hi Andrew!
I would to emphasize one thing you wrote above regarding the present continuous when you have the verbs of movement, like: راح، إجا، سافر، طلع، نزل. We usually conjugate this tense using the participle (اسم الفاعل).
Examples:
1. I'm coming, don't move! = هيني جاي، ما تتحرّك!
2. I'm going with you now. = أنا رايح معك هلّأ
But if you see عم بروح، عم باجي، عم بسافرو then it must indicate the present perfect continuous in this case.
Examples:
1. I've been travelling a lot recently = أنا عم بسافر كتير مؤخّراً
2. I've been going out frequently. = أنا عم بطلع كتير.
Hope this helps. Happy learning! :)
