Thank you. Could you explain the difference between: Did you think Ali chose the book at the end of the story? vs Do you think Ali choose the book at the end of the story?

The difference is quite clear. The first one is grammatically correct, and the second is grammatically wrong.

Ali is a singular subject of the verb "choose", so an "s" must be added in the present tense: Do you think Ali chooses the book ...?

Sorry about the grammatical error. When you ask someone about their opinion, can you put the question in the past tense as in: Did you think...?" Shouldn't it be "Do you think....?" Thank you.
