He gets up at 8 every morning - I am unsure of the tense & the reason why

The two are fine. In the first one, the present simple shows that it's an habit, something that he does regularly. In the second one, the past simple shows that it's a finished event, precisely located in time (2 years ago).He gets up at 8 every morning - I am unsure of the tense & the reason why
I went to France two years ago - I am unsure of the tense
