Present Continous

Hello teachers! Fantastic website.

I read the Present Continous tenses, and I've seen this: "We can also use the Present Continuous Tense to talk about activities happening around now, and not necessarily this very moment. "

For example I want to say that I work for example at the university...I can say it with present simple and present continous, what is more correct?

- I work at the university (P. Simple) // I work every days, it's a rutine

- I'm working at the university. (P. Continous) // Now I'm at home, but I worked yesterday, I work today, and I'll work tomorrow.

Thanks

No. That was a mistake. It should have been I work every day. It's a routine.

Not really; 'every days' doesn't work.
If you wanted to make the 'day' part plural, you would have to substitute 'all' for 'every' (all days), but you would also need to come up with a different context for that one.

However, it's possible to say for example 'every ten days', where 'ten
