The form a singular subject takes in the present: the committee chooses, she chooses, it chooses. Every meaning of the verb travels with it, including picking, electing and preferring. Followed by a to-infinitive, it turns toward a decision about conduct, as in he chooses to walk. An obsolete Scots plural shares the spelling, but in modern text the verb is almost always what you are reading.
