Hey, present can be explained in different ways. Depending on the different contexts, it can differ.
One way to use present -
"Did you like your Christmas present?"
And another ways is when you can say "Present" when the teacher asks if you are here on the roll.
So ..
Teacher: (Your name) are you here?
You: Present miss/sir
Another way similar to that, is different times.
The past, the present and the future. The present means what is happening now.
