第三人称单数:becomes现在分词:becoming过去式:became过去分词:become
1.用作连系动词,其后可接名词、形容词、过去分词等作表语:
He became a teacher at (the age of)17.他17岁就当了老师。
The weather became warmer.天气变得暖和起来。
注意:其后接过去分词时,可表示被动或结果;但表示被动时,其后一般不接by短语。比如不说:

他成为老师有十年了。
正:He became a teacher ten years ago.
正:It’s ten years since he became a teacher.
误:He has become a teacher for ten years.

正:He began [came] to like English.他开始喜欢英语起来。
误:He became to like English.
正:He became ill yesterday.他昨天病了。
误:He became to be ill yesterday.
