Grammar
Present Continuous And present simple
Please help me to know when we should use Present Continuous Tense and Present Simple Tense in the same sentence.
Can I write this:

Thanks for helping!

air purple 721 David is having shower when the phone rings. It's grammatical, but it doesn't seem useful except maybe as stage directions in a script. Normally we'd expect the past for this.
