Errores frecuentes
Olvidar la -s de la tercera persona: He become en vez de He becomes
Correcto: He/She/It becomes
En el present simple, la tercera persona del singular (he/she/it) siempre añade -s o -es al verbo. Es el error más frecuente entre hispanohablantes.
Regularizar el pasado: becomeed en vez de became
Correcto: Past simple: became — Past participle: become
«become» es irregular: sus formas de pasado no siguen la regla estándar de añadir -ed. Deben aprenderse de memoria.
Formar preguntas sin do/does: You become? en vez de Do you become?
Correcto: Do you become? / Does he/she become?
En español, la pregunta se forma con la entonación. En inglés, el present simple y past simple necesitan el auxiliar do/does/did para preguntas y negaciones.
Confundir present simple con present continuous: I become vs I am becoming
Correcto: Hábito/general → I become | Ahora mismo → I am becoming
El present simple se usa para hábitos y verdades generales, mientras que el present continuous se usa para acciones en progreso. En español a menudo se usa el mismo tiempo para ambos.
