Ответ:

• 1. A: Tony and Matt are working very hard these days. B: Yes. They want to make some extra money. (Present Continuous для "are working", так как это временное, интенсивное действие. Present Simple для "want", так как это состояние.)
• 2. A: What are you doing? B: Shhhh! I'm talking on the phone. (Present Continuous для обоих случаев, так как действия происходят прямо сейчас.)
• 3. A: Does John study Spanish? B: Yes. He goes to lessons twice a week. (Present Simple для вопроса о регулярности учебы и для описания регулярных действий.)
• 4. A: What time do you have breakfast? B: 7 o'clock. The school bus comes at 7:30. (Present Simple для вопроса о регулярном времени завтрака и для описания расписания.)
• 5. A: Where's Jim? B: In the living room. He is helping Mary with her homework. (Present Continuous, так как он помогает прямо сейчас.)
