Hello all.
Is it possible (and correct) to use present simple tense with the word NOW? I would expect seeing present continuous with the word now rather than present simple.I´ve found two sentences and I would like to ask you what would be the difference if they were written in the pressent continuous form.
1) The images still haunt me now as they will be for a long time, I am sure. (This is from my textbook - woman is complaining about TV news as last report was to cruel for her and her son to watch.)
2) Now I choose. ( This comes from the song you can see below)
Here is the part of the song:
Thank you!

Close the door
Let it all go
No regrets
Cause now I choose
This time I fly away with you
Now I choose
This time I’m gonna stay with you
Thank you!
