"Choose" and "chose" are two forms of the same verb, but they are used differently:
*Choose* (present tense):
- Used for current or future actions
- Means "to select or decide"
- Examples:
- I will choose the red shirt.
- You can choose from three options.
*Chose* (past tense):
- Used for past actions
- Means "selected or decided"
- Examples:
- I chose the blue shirt yesterday.
- She chose to study abroad last year.
Remember:
- If you're talking about now or the future, use "choose".
- If you're talking about the past, use "chose".
