Hi, I am a Chromebook user. I forgot in which mode I have booted. So please help me.

Welcome to Android Central! It looks like one way is to reboot and see if it warns you that OS verification is off: https://www.androidcentral.com/how-enable-developer-mode-chrome-os

Another way to check is to go into settings and About Chrome under advanced settings. It will tell you which version of chrome you are using and whether it is beta or stable. I presume it will also tell you if you are in developer mode.

Developer Mode is actually different from the various channels of Chrome OS (Stable, Beta, Dev). Check out that AC article I linked above -- they explain it as being akin to rooting a phone.
