1. We are having dinner at the moment. (The action is happening now, in the present.)

2. Do you see that blue car over there? It's Ben's. (The action of seeing is a momentary action, so we use the simple present tense.)

3. I am all right. I think I am thinking about what I have to do tomorrow. (Present continuous is used to describe temporary actions or situations happening now. "I am all right" is a temporary state, and "I am thinking about what I have to do tomorrow" is a temporary action in progress.)

4. Sophie thinks I watch too much television. (The action of watching television is a general habit or a regular occurrence, so we use the simple present tense.)
