Present tense

I have a little confusion on present tense. I know how it works in past tense: I had just about given up when the bell rang.

In present tense, is it like this: I have just about given up when the bell rings.

Thanks a ton.

Anonymous I have just about given up when the bell rings. That is grammatically possible in limited situations such as a narrative present.
