    Hi Fugendichter,


    The present (noun) and present (adj) are both pronounced "présnt".


    To present (verb) is pronounced "prsént".


    I hope this helps! In future, you can check pronunciation of words at http://oald8.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/dictionary/pronunciation or www.thefreedictionary.com - although I don't know if you could find fine distinctions such as the ones in your question.

    'I'm présnt. May I prsént my présnt to you?'
    That should put it all together.
