Now, and habits. choisis covers both "I choose" and "I am chooseing" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and choisi does not — ai choisi.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so choisissons gives you choisissais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; choisir never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on choisir-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.

What this table tells you about choisir
The past participle is choisi, and it takes avoir in the passé composé — so it never changes shape, whoever the subject is. No agreement to remember here.
The futur simple is built on choisir-, which is just the infinitive — the endings are the whole story, nothing new to learn for this tense.
In the present, je, tu and il/elle are one sound: choisis, choisit — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous, vous and ils/elles carry an audible ending.
The imparfait is built on the nous-present stem, so once you know choisissons you already know choisissais, choisissait and choisissaient. Futur proche keeps choisir untouched.
