Personally I would argue that we descriptively have different definitions of free before a choice and after. Because the future has not yet happened, all possible future choices are indeed free in a sense, even if one of them is predetermined. When we look back, I think we tend to think of free in a different way, that is, given that a choice has already been made, we can now say that it was the only choice that could have happened and did (determinism or not, I think we often tend to think this way in ordinary life). When we judge moral responsibility, we tend to think of the actor in that moment of making the choice. At that moment the choice was still "free", because the future had not yet happened, and so we ascribe moral responsibility to these actions.
