Does John study Spanish? — вопрос об обычном занятии, не «сейчас»; John = he, поэтому does и study без -s. Ответ: He goes to lessons — twice a week: Simple, he → goes (go + es).
What time do you have breakfast? — регулярное действие. The school bus comes at : — расписание, bus = it, поэтому comes.
He is helping Mary — Джим сейчас в гостиной и помогает прямо в этот момент: Continuous.
