always drinks

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

Use "always drinks" when referring to a singular subject (he/she/it) in the present simple tense. The verb "drinks" agrees with the singular subject.

Examples:

  • He always drinks coffee in the morning.
  • She always drinks water before going to bed.
  • The cat always drinks milk from a saucer.
  • The plant always drinks up all the water in the pot.
  • The baby always drinks his milk quickly.
The correct phrase is "always drinks." The verb "drinks" agrees with the singular subject "he/she/it." The incorrect phrase "always drink" does not match the subject and is not a grammatically correct construction.
