| Mar 26, 2017 at 7:54 | comment | added | Jasper | "I come now" is not idiomatic, but it is grammatically correct. It reminds me of Tolkien's Entish poetry. "He comes now" is less rare than "I come now". | |
| Mar 26, 2017 at 7:53 | comment | added | Virtuous Legend | Then you can say "I come now"? That's new for me, because I always thought that now goes together with present progressive only (except of a few words such as see, like, feel etc. which anyway don't get present progressive) | |

| Mar 26, 2017 at 7:49 | comment | added | Jasper | "Now" does not force a sentence to be in present progressive tense. "Now" is an adverb. It is grammatically correct to apply "now" to the verb "does". | |
