How can you tell if someone wants to commit suicide now?

There is no method that will be accurate all the time, but there are things to do and to watch for. First, it is a myth that asking people if they are going to commit suicide is going to put thoughts into their heads that weren't there before. If you are concerned enough, by all means ask: Are you going to commit suicide? or: Are you going to hurt or kill yourself, accidentally or on purpose? People will not always answer truthfully, but sometimes they will. If a person says yes, then you can (and should) take steps to keep them safe.If you know that a person has been dealing with depression for a long time, or has been talking about dying, ending it, or being 'at the end of my rope', then that person may be at risk. Ask outright, or let the person's caregiver of partner know what is going on.If you notice that a person who has been very depressed suddenly appears lifted out of the depression, calm, relaxed and at peace, this may be a sign that the person has made a decision to suicide and has probably established a plan and a time frame. Ask some questions; don't just sit back, relieved that your friend is no longer depressed.
