in my opinion, you should clarify your question, may be other teachers will be able to help you in that way better.

Thank yo Matilda.

I have a hard time in seeing what is the present time and what is the future time.

Must tomorrow is a future time?
What about next hour?
What about next minute?
What about next second?
Are they all the future time?

[Tdol]

They are all future time.

[matilda]

yes, they are.
even a second after now is future.
don't you think so?

[Tdol]

To me, yes.

Then it follows that the next millisecond is also the future time.

Then where is the present time?
Is the present time just this one millisecond, not even the second one? If so, who can notice any present time at all?

Well, it's been a long time, Shun. How have you been?

What do you mean by "the" future time? If you mean "future time", I'd say it's non-past and non-present.

All the best.

May you show us some examples for illustration?

[Casiopea]

I don't understand your request, sorry.
Could you rephrase your question? With examples?
