The answer needed to encompass past and future as well as now.
Can you come up with a sentence that includes "the present" where that term can't be replaced with "now"?

Originally posted by @kewpieAha, but here you're using present as an adjective instead of a noun (e.g., the present, the answer to the puzzle).
The present U.S. president is attracting the world's attention. 🙂
Your sentence could be rephrased to say: "The U.S. president now in office is attracting the world's attention."

We live now.
"We live in the present"
But I'll offer you a draw.
