The word "present" as a noun can have two different meanings: 1) a gift, and 2) the time period happening now, the existing moment.
So depending on which definition of present you want to use, you could use a sentence where you would use the word 'gift' and replace gift with the word "present," or you could use a sentence where you are talking about the current time period happening now and you'd usually use it with the word "the" - "the present."
