Which Word to Choose?

The English language can be difficult to learn because there are words that don’t follow the standard spelling rules. Typically, adding –ed to a verb will make it past tense but not in the case of choose (pronounced as chews). In this case, the past tense of choose is chose (pronounced as choze). As you can see, that the present tense, choose, uses a double ‘o’ and the past tense, chose, uses a single ‘o.’

Here are some examples of these words in action.

Today, you will have to choose what to eat for lunch.

Yesterday, you chose to have a bad attitude.
