Решение:

Используем Present Simple для регулярных действий и Present Continuous для действий, происходящих сейчас или в данный момент:

• Helen: Hello, Nadia. What are you doing? (Действие происходит сейчас).
• Nadia: I am cooking dinner. (Действие происходит сейчас).
• Helen: But you never cook dinner on Saturdays. (Never указывает на регулярное действие - Present Simple).
• You always eat out. (Always указывает на регулярное действие - Present Simple).
• Nadia: Not today. My grandson Matthew is here. He is fixing my garage door. (is here - констатация факта, is fixing - действие, происходящее сейчас).
• I am making his favourite meal, lemon chicken. (Действие, происходящее сейчас).

Ответ: are you doing; am cooking; never cook; always eat; is here; is fixing; am making.
