à ce moment.


Explanation:
Are you trying to say now, as in "right this very moment"? If so, I would use "à ce moment." If you mean in general, as in "Now I go to college," I would use "maintenant."

Good luck

maintenant, actuellement, à présent, aujourd'hui, de nos jours, en ce moment


Explanation:
depending on context:
maintenant is the most general translation of "now"

actuellement, aujourd'hui, de nos jours = today, these days

en ce moment = right now, at this moment
