You had a choice, and you didn’t have to do what you did. You could have done something else if you wanted to.

I could have done my homework, but I chose to play video games instead.

I could have gone to school, but I chose to stay home and eat cereal.

I could have listened to my mom, but I chose to ignore her and eat my lunch in the bathroom.
