Choose Vs Chose

Because choose and chose sound so similar, it is often difficult to remember which is the past tense version.

Just remember that “choose” is the present and future, and it has 2 “Os”. One “O” for the present and one “O” for the future.

e.g. “Today I will choose which university I will go to”

e.g. “Tomorrow I will choose which book to read”

The past only has one “O”.

e.g. “Yesterday I chose a book to read, it’s great!”

e.g. “Last year I chose a film to watch but it was terrible”
