Plan
Are both these sentences correct:
a) "By now I have a plan of action."
b) "By now, I have an action plan."
Top answer
"by now" doesn't go well with the present tense, especially when it involves simply having something. By now I have a brother just doesn't work, nor does By now I have a car . If you remove 'by' you'll have good sentences.
