The 'Right Now' (Present) These things are happening generally or today:

Have $\rightarrow$ "Companies have a vote."
Choose $\rightarrow$ "People choose the best athlete."
Can $\rightarrow$ "Students can win."

The 'Finished' (Past) Notice the -ed or the special change. This means it is over:

Got $\rightarrow$ "Iva got votes." (Past of get)
Won $\rightarrow$ "Wyatt won a vote." (Past of win)
Played $\rightarrow$ "He played very well." (Just add -ed)

💡 Quick Guide for You: If you want to talk about yesterday $\rightarrow$ Use Won/Played/Got. If you talk about today $\rightarrow$ Use Win/Play/Get.
