We can only promise to DO things ....not undo things ! If it is the present we either do it or we don't ....in the future we promise to do !
So promises are all about the future ... |

I would say it can be present also. My husband and I are living out our promise when we got married. Maybe in one case it is a verb and in the other a noun? |
