Ответы на вопрос
Ниже — правильные формы с краткой проверкой по временам.
-
I played tennis yesterday but I did not win.
Past Simple, потому что есть указание на завершенное действие в прошлом: yesterday. -
John does not write letters very often; he prefers phoning.
Present Simple, потому что речь идет о привычке и общем факте. -
She did not go to work yesterday because she did not feel well.
Оба глагола — Past Simple, так как ситуация относится к прошлому (yesterday). -
The polar ice cap consists of millions of tons of ice.
Present Simple, потому что это общеизвестный факт. -
You did not help your brother, did you? — No, I went to the dentist.
Все формы здесь в Past Simple, так как разговор о конкретной ситуации в прошлом. -
Where is Mr Moore fishing at the moment? — I do not know.
Правильно: Where is Mr Moore? — He is fishing at the moment. / I do not know.
Если использовать именно данный вариант, естественнее было бы сказать:
Where is Mr Moore? — He is fishing at the moment.
Здесь нужно Present Continuous, потому что действие происходит at the moment.
Фраза I do not know — Present Simple. -
How do you go to school? — I always go by bike.
Present Simple, потому что это обычное, повторяющееся действие. -
My grandfather did not go to school by bike, he went on foot.
Past Simple, так как речь о прошлом. -
Last month, we enjoyed swimming in a five-star hotel. It was wonderful.
Оба глагола — Past Simple, потому что есть указание Last month. -
He last wrote three months ago.
Past Simple, так как действие произошло в прошлом: three months ago. -
Be quiet, please! I am watching a film.
Present Continuous, потому что действие происходит прямо сейчас. -
Do you know where your brother is? — Oh, I met him an hour ago at Richmond Bridge.
Do you know — Present Simple,

met — Past Simple, потому что есть an hour ago. -
Do you know where your brother was last night? — He spent the evening with his friends.
Do you know — Present Simple,
was и spent — Past Simple, потому что есть last night. -

is, is playing — настоящее время;
is playing — Present Continuous, потому что действие идет сейчас. -
What did Dorothy do last night? — She studied French and talked to her friends on the phone. — Does she study hard? — Yes, of course, she does.
did do, studied, talked — Past Simple, потому что речь о last night.
Does she study, she does — Present Simple, потому что это уже вопрос о привычке/характеристике. -
John is working in the garden at the moment. He likes doing this, anyway. Although he hated it when he was younger.
is working — Present Continuous, потому что есть at the moment.
likes — Present Simple, это общее отношение.
hated — Past Simple, потому что речь о прошлом: when he was younger.
Last year, we spent our vacation in Greece.
How did you travel?
We flew.
Did you like it there?

Здесь все основные формы — Past Simple, потому что весь рассказ идет о прошлом: Last year.
Итог: почти все формы у вас поставлены правильно. Единственный момент, который звучит неестественно, — предложение 6. Более грамотно будет:
Where is Mr Moore? — He is fishing at the moment. / I do not know.
