Thank you very much. I have been having random answers to another question, so I would appreciate it if you would help.
One person wrote that this sentence is correct:
If you had a chance which one would you choose?
However, another person said 'had' is incorrect and it should be 'have' instead, and I agree.
Please tell me your if that is right or wrong.

It can be rather confusing if you ask the same question in different threads. It would be better to follow this up in the original thread.

I agree with fivejedjon, you need to ask a complete question. However "Please tell me your if that is right or wrong." is not correct, you should say "Please tell me your opinion if that is right or wrong."
