Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the correct past participle form "chosen" instead of "chose" when using the passive voice with "can be".
Common error
Avoid using "chose" after "can be". "Chose" is the simple past tense, while the past participle "chosen" is required for the passive voice. For example, use "The winner can be chosen later", not "The winner can be chose later".
