A lot of dictionaries don't include this word yet, so I can't find too much guidance. One that does include it is Collins Dictionary, which lists it as "flat-hunting", so in an exam I would spell it that way.

Log in or register to post comments Hello lengocthuyduong, The normal form in UK English is at present, not at the present. You can say at the present time. You can also use for the present, but this has a slightly different meaning. It implies something is temporary and not an ideal or intended situation.

Hello lengocthuyduong,
The normal form in UK English is at present, not at the present.
You can say at the present time.
You can also use for the present, but this has a slightly different meaning. It implies something is temporary and not an ideal or intended situation.
