Which Is Correct?
"You directly choose to be determined by other people." OR "You directly choose being determined by other people."
Top answer
" "choose" is followed by an infinitive, so it's "choose to be" or "choose to do" or "choose to look", etc. However, I think you're trying to say this: You actively choose to let other people determine [your life / what you do with your life] . Of course I can't be 100% sure that's what you mean.

Anonymous"You directly choose to be determined by other people." OR "You directly choose being determined by other people."I don't know what you mean by "to be determined by other people," but "determined" doesn't make sense here.
However, I can say that "You directly choose to be. . . " is better than "You directly choose being . . . "
