Could you give me a Portuguese example? En Espan~ol, "ahora" means now, 
and "presente" means here. This is also the case in literal English; 
"the present" is short for "the present moment", "the present time", 
"the present day", "the present situation", and other intangibles that 
present themselves the way a person would present a gift to another person.
