Hello Teachers,

Could you please tell me what is the difference between "Now" and "Right now"? where should I use "Right now"?

Please help.

now (=at the present time)
They now live in the city centre.
There's nothing I can do about this right now (=exactly now).
We're very busy right now.

right away/now (=immediately)
You'd better leave right now.
