Choose vs Chose

Present or past? That is the whole game with choose and chose, and these 10 questions train your ear and eye for both.

You slot the correct form into sentences like The menu lets us ___ from soda, juice, coffee or tea. or The bride ___ a pastel peach dress for the flower girl.

The thing many learners miss is that the spelling change also flips the sound: choose rhymes with news, while chose rhymes with nose. Get the tense right and the pronunciation follows.

Recommended level: beginner to intermediate.
