Question about 'at/in this moment' and 'now'

Hi Teachers,

Is there any difference between 'at this moment', 'in this moment', and 'now'?

Thanks in advance

I can't think of a context in which I would say in this moment . The other two mean the same. Rover

Hi,

Actually, no.

He's hungry at the moment = He's hungry now.

In a moment, however, suggests immediately as in 'He'll be back in a moment'.

Hi Regards,

Thank you so much for your reply too. So, 'at the moment' and 'at this moment' mean the same, and 'in this moment' doesn't exist at all.

Hi,

I'd say that it's true. I can't think of a context in which in this moment occurs.

Hi Teachers,


1) "And it’s kind of appropriate that they would have this more global perspective on what tactics we might use in this moment".

"What can we do in this moment?"
