    Obviously it doesn’t matter, but my brain was stuck on the title for a while because you make a decision, not “take” a decision.

      My brain got stuck on if the past tense of take is took, the past tense of make must be mook

          And if there are more than one house ind the past and the plural of mouse is mice, it would be look hice.

            If you’ve ever met King Charles, you’ll know that’s exactly how he pronounces “house”

      In English English decisions can be taken as well as made… although it’s possibly more common to use “make” in the present tense and “took” in the past tense. i.e. “They took the decision to make no more decisions until tomorrow.”
