Thanks, but I got a question,

(a) He is fishing on Sundays. [These days, recently]



"On Sundays" means every Sunday,

but if I say "He is fishing", that means "He is fishing at that moment" not every Sunday, right?



You got what I mean?

He is fishing indicates the action is happening as we speak. When you modify it with on Sundays, that changes the meaning completely.
