When adding "now" to tenses.

Hi! For number 2 by adding "now" you are saying "I'm about to call you at this very moment". For number 4 by adding "now" you are emphasizing you are going to see her at the moment you speak. Is number 6 just emphasis? Thanks, Fulvio


1. I will call you.

2. I will call you now.

3. I am going to see her.

4. I am going to see her now.

5. I have finished using the computer.

6. I have finished using the computer now.
