Third‑person singular; you need second‑person singular *eliges* when speaking to “tú”.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, the word *plan* can also mean a casual outing or a “plan” for the evening (e.g., “¿Cuál es el plan para hoy?”). When you ask “¿Qué planes eliges?” you’re usually referring to a set of pre‑offered alternatives, not just a spontaneous idea. Remember to keep the tone friendly; using “tú” is informal, while “¿Qué planes elige usted?” would be the formal version.
