Hi,
Trying to help my son with English grammar, and grammatical structures.

"He drinks champagne." - We identified this as Present Simple. Am I correct?

"He used to drink champagne, now he drinks water." - I'm unsure of the grammatical structure used here, can you help please?

Thanks and regards
Jenni

"He used to drink (past habit/routine) champagne, now he drinks (simple present) water." - I'm unsure of the grammatical structure used here, can you help please?

"Now he drinks water" is the present simple used to denote a habitual action.
