English Synonyms and Antonyms
current
That is authentic which is true to the facts; that is genuine which is true to its own claims; as, authentic history; genuine money.
A 'genuine' work is one written by the author whose name it bears; an 'authentic' work is one which relates truthfully the matters of which it treats. For example, the apocryphal Gospel of St. Thomas is neither 'genuine' nor 'authentic.' It is not 'genuine,' for St. Thomas did not write it; it is not 'authentic,' for its contents are mainly fables and lies.
Trench On the Study of Words lect. vi, p. 189. [W. J. Widdleton ]Authentic is, however, used by reputable writers as synonymous with genuine, tho usually where genuineness carries a certain authority. We speak of accepted conclusions, certain evidence, current money, genuine letters, a legitimate conclusion or legitimate authority, original manuscripts, real value, received interpretation, sure proof, a true statement, a trustworthy witness, a veritable discovery.
Synonyms:
accepted, accredited, authentic, authoritative, authorized, certain, genuine, legitimate, original, real, received, reliable, sure, true, trustworthy, veritableAntonyms:
apocryphal, baseless, counterfeit, disputed, exploded, fabulous, false, fictitious, spurious, unauthorized

How to use current in a sentence?
Unless there is a surprise, unless a party changes its stance, I don't expect parliament to elect a president tomorrow given the current circumstances, nothing can be ruled out, but parties are in any case preparing for elections.
Chairman James Leigh-Pemberton:
I believe that realising a total of at least 25 billion from the sale of RBS shares -- representing over three-quarters of the government's stake in RBS at the current market price -- is feasible in the period to May 2020, while delivering value for money for the taxpayer, provided market conditions are supportive.
Given this approval is unlikely to be forthcoming at this time, Lion and Mengniu Dairy have mutually agreed to cease the current sale process, we are disappointed with this outcome and will now consider pathways forward.
The combination of that forward-looking mindset from operators as well as the new regulations, I’m optimistic we’re going to close the current holes in the net, we need to accelerate our efforts, because we don’t have a lot of time.
It has become clear that the current administration uses cruel language, policies and abuse with the objective of deterring immigrants and asylum seekers.
