"I'm making breakfast now."

Translation: 我现在做早饭。

[RainerThom1]

I think that it should be: 现在我在做早饭。If not, why?

[DaniSL3]

I think both 我 or 现在 can be put in the front.

I feel like there could be some nuance here. "I'm making breakfast now" could have a slightly different flavor depending on context. It could be more of a statement of intent, as in "I'm going to make breakfast now," or a statement of fact, as in "I am in the act of making breakfast right now." To me, saying "我现在做早饭" would lean towards a statement of intent. Whereas, if I meant that "I'm in the act of making breakfast right now" I might say something like "我现在在做早饭“ or ”现在我在做早饭“.

I also think that it should be correct: 现在我在做饭。If not, why?

Not specifying breakfast

Could 我正在做早饭 mean the same thing? Some one was trying to tell me the difference between 现在 and 正在, but i can't remember the difference completely.

[RainerThom1]

现在 is an adverb and means : just now, while 正在 indicates the aspect of the verb 做，the meaning is the same, isn't it?

[bnbnb2]

yeah, but more nuanced

[PianistKevin]

我现在做早餐means the exact same thing. Reporting this for a brighter future

When are we going to get playback buttons on the talk pages for Chinese? I am really missing this feature and it's been weeks and still hasn't been added yet.

Yes I do not understand how it is incorrect because I placed “现在” first, it does not change the overall meaning. It is not directly transferable to English because the "now" placed at the beginning or end does not change the overall meaning.
"Now I'm making breakfast"
"I'm making breakfast now"

[bnbnb2]

我现在做早饭呢。

Cant you say shien tsai first too?

现在我做早饭 - isn't this one correct?

[Gary329920]

I have reported this several times. For this sentence Duolingo accepts only 'S + T + V + O'. Other times Duolingo accepts either 'T + S + V + O' or ' S + T + V + O'. Both structures are correct.
