choose or decide between options
To choose one thing or way to do something, and not the others.
Vzorec užití:
to opt for [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"we opted the red one"* without a preposition. In most cases in modern English, **opt** needs **for** or **to**: "we opted for the red one" or "we opted to buy the red one." Learners may also overuse **opt** in very simple speech where **choose** is more natural.
Synonyma
choose (More common and general; slightly less formal-sounding than "opt".)
Antonyma
reject (Means to decide not to accept or choose something.)

choose not to take part
To choose not to join or not to be in something, often by telling a company or group.
Vzorec užití:
to opt out of [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners often forget **of** and say *"opt out the program"* instead of **"opt out of the program."** They may also confuse **opt out** with **log out** or **unsubscribe**; **opt out** is usually about a long-term service, plan, or rule, not just leaving a website once.
Synonyma
withdraw (Focuses on pulling back from something you are or could be involved in; slightly more formal in some contexts.)
Antonyma
enroll (Means to sign up or join something, the opposite of choosing not to take part.)
