Present Simple or Present Continuous
Hi! I'm not sure about the tenses: "I watch TV when I have dinner" or "I watch TV when I'm having dinner" . On the one hand the action isn't happening now, I'm not watching TV right now; whenever I watch TV I eat. And that's why Present Simple is in both parts. On the other hand, It can mean, that I (usually) watch TV when another action is in the process, a certain time at present and that's why Present Continuous can be used in the second part. Please, help me!
