Here’s another one that I see all the time in writing, but I never hear.
Choose is a present-tense verb. It’s pronounced like booze.
- Which option will you choose for your investments?
- Did you choose which restaurant you want to go to for dinner?
Chose is a past-tense verb. It’s pronounced like hose.
- I chose to sell our house before the prices fell.
- I’m glad I chose to buy a hybrid last year.
