Still

Hi

To me the word "still" associates with the present continous tense, so which is better to say: Do you still work at school? OR Are you still working at school?

--- I just want to ask if the given person I'm talking to is still a teacher.

Still is possible with both simple and continuous tenses. If the teacher has had a permanent job, nothing temporary, I would ask: Do you still teach at that school? At school isn't good, it is usually used about students who attend school to learn something there: He is at/in school now but he'll be here in an hour.

NewguestAnd if it were something temporary than: Are you still teaching at that school? would be fine?
