Difference between choose and find

[Janevu]

Sir,
In " There are so many things that it's difficult to choose" if I replace "things" on "problems" and "choose" on " find", so my setence is" There are so many porblems that it's difficult to find" Is that corrcet ?

thanks!

Jane

Hello Alan & Torsten,
I also had the same problem between choose and find. It seems to me it's depend on how do you read the sentence? I understand your way but I think next time most of us will do the same mistake.

Thank you,
Allaminna

Hello everybody!

I think Alan is absolutely right - the answer is "choose" but taken in the given context. If we overlook these 10 questions we see there is a logical order, a conversation. This question is connected to the previous questions where the ideea was to choose a question. Well, the word "things" in this question refers to "questions". Taken off the context, the word "things" can have various meanings so the answer wouldn,t be so obvious.

Am I wright?

Tks for this forum!

There are so many things and in spite of it I can't find any. It's too dificalt! That is wrong? There are so many questions that it's difficult to choose.I consider a logical order. I am right? Sorry, Cornel. I did not see your post at first. Where are you from?

Hello,

I'm not so sure why "choose" is the right answer not "find"? I think this it depends on situation.
eg: There are so many things that it's difficult to find ( we say it when we can't find out s.th eg: happiness, warmness, lucky, etc.)
eg: There are so many things that it's difficult to choose ( we say it when we have many options to choose eg: work or study, marriend or single, to be an employee or employer, and so on).
Could you give me example clearer than this?

Thanks...

If you choose you decide which thing/person you want out of the ones that are available.

'Find' has a number of usages, which you will find listed here. as a verb and here as a noun.
