Hello Shun

Sandhya.sha has put it much better than I could. We are talking about the present tense, not the present time. "Present tense" is a convenient label, not a description.

I don't deny that "present time" is a very interesting subject, in a philosophical or scientific context; but my answers are intended to relate only to the "present tense".

All the best,

MrP
