Oh I see. Thank you for the replies.
I would just like to confirm do can be used to refer to as now and universal truth. Is this correct? So its meaning depends on the context?

michaeltingI would just like to confirm do can be used to refer to as now and universal truth. Is this correct? So its meaning depends on the context?'Do' seldom if ever refers to Now in simple present, nor do most action verbs. The verbs that refer to Now are primarily verbs of being, possession, sensation, etc, like feel, see, have, be, seem.
