You can choose an option or gather fruit and flowers.

The idea

Use pick a colour for a choice and pick apples for taking fruit from a tree. The past is picked.

Examples

  • Pick a colour for the wall.
  • She picked the blue chair.
  • We can pick a different route.
  • They pick apples in autumn.
  • I picked flowers for the table.
  • He is picking berries in the garden.
