tense

Hi,

As of now, what I do here, I won't do anywhere (else). (1)

As of tomorrow, what I do here, I won't do anywhere (else). (2)

Please tell me the difference in meaning btw (1) and (2)

Q
  

Top answer

I don't see any difference except the word now in the first sentence is changed to tomorrow in the second sentence. So the starting point of the action differs. as of now = starting from now as of tomorrow = starting from tomorrow You have do in bold.

My question is: Could you tell me the difference in the use of the present tense in (1) and (2)?

Present tense is used for future times in many instances.

Yes, it's grammatically possible.
