§Structures (grammar patterns) 4
choose + to-infinitive
Choose to do something means to decide freely to do it. It is followed by a to-infinitive, never by a gerund.

Between is used for two options and from for a larger group of possibilities.
दो विकल्पों के लिए 'between' और अधिक विकल्पों के समूह के लिए 'from' आता है।

!Common mistakes 3
✗ He choosed the red one.
✓ He chose the red one.
Choose is irregular, and its past tense is chose.
'Choose' अनियमित क्रिया है और उसका past tense 'chose' है।
✗ She has chose a book.
✓ She has chosen a book.
After has, the past participle chosen must be used, not the past tense.
Has के बाद past participle 'chosen' आना चाहिए, past tense नहीं।
✗ I choose to going.
✓ I choose to go.
Choose is followed by a to-infinitive, so the gerund going is wrong.
'Choose' के बाद to-infinitive आता है, इसलिए gerund 'going' गलत है।
