Choose: I have just remembered, I �ve got an important meeting, so I (am leaving - left - will leave - have left) right now. Is "Will leave" the correct answer because it is on the spot decision? Can "am leaving" be a possible answer as well? If yes, why? Thx a lot, |

in my opinion..."am leaving" also can be because it is kind of what you are you doing at that time. so "am leaving" and "right now" is connective to present progressive/continuous. � ��

Both can be used, but in my opinion "am leaving" is the better choice. You are in the process of leaving (also, "now" usually triggers the present continuous). |

I agree with Douglas and his reasoning. "I will leave now" is technically correct, but it doesn �t sound quite natural, so I would say "I �m leaving now". At the moment you make the decision, before you do anything, you could say "I will leave right now", but I can �t picture myself saying it, even in that situation. Bruce |
