This is a word which is often used wrongly. This is the correct usage:

"Parliament had a debate on the new Private Member's Bill" or

"The pupils were allowed to debate whether they would play soccer or Rugby football next season"

Wrong usage is:

"I had to debate whether to wear my hair straight or curly". It doesn't mean decide; it's a discussion between two or more people in which two or more points of view are put across.

How to use the verb debate in a sentence?

From my understanding when you use debate as a verb it acts on the subject that will be debated, not the person who you are engaging in conversation with. For example if someone says "Linda is going to debate Bob" the actually meaning is that Linda's subject matter for her debate is Bob. People mistakenly use a sentence like that to mean Linda is going to debate an issue against her opponent Bob.
