become的用法说明和搭配

　　1. 用作连系动词，其后可接名词、形容词、过去分词等作表语：

　　The weather became warmer. 天气变得暖和起来。

　　Soon the roombecame crowded. 不一会儿房里就挤满了人。

　　He became a teacher at (the age of) 17. 他17岁就当了老师。

　　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：

　　Soon the room became crowded bystudents.

　　2. become 是终止性动词，因此要表示“成为…有多长时间”，英语不能将become与表示一段时间的词或短语连用：

　　正：He has been a teacher for ten years.

　　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.

　　3. become 之后一般不接不定式表示“逐渐…” (此时可用 come / begin+不定式)：

　　正：He became ill yesterday. 他昨天病了。

　　误：He became to be ill yesterday.

　　正：He began [came] to like English. 他开始喜欢英语起来。

　　误：He became to like English.
