Mohammad YousefiI have seen your massage right now.

I usually use right now with present or future, and just/only now with past and present perfect.

Let's go right now.

She should buy the new coat right now. It's on sale.

We will leave right now. (immediately)

I've just now seen your message.

As far as I remember 'just' is used with Present Perfect. 'Just now'- with Past Simple. Maybe the rule is the same for 'right now'? Maybe we should use it only for Past Simple...I am a little bewildered...

We've to leave right now. (an obligation and should be used while present perfect).

I've just seen your message. (present perfect)

mainak.basudevWe've to leave right now. (an obligation and should be used while present perfect).

We have to leave right now.

It is not present perfect tense; it is present tense with the auxiliary "have to."

"Have to" should not be made into a contraction.

Compare with:

They have already left.

They've already left.
