I’m living with my parents until I find a place of my own. (I think the situation is temporary.) Where do you work? (I think you have a permanent job.) Where are you working? (I think you are doing something temporary.) 2. Some verbs are not normally used in the continuous form even when they refer to the present moment. They refer to states and not to actions.
