What is the past tense form of "to become"?

became
become
being
becomes

The correct answer is: became

The past tense form of "to become" is "became." This form indicates that the action of becoming happened in the past. Understanding verb tenses is crucial for constructing sentences correctly, and recognizing that "became" fits the context of past actions helps in mastering English grammar. The other choices illustrate different verb forms: "become" is the base form used in the present tense, "being" is the present participle used often for continuous tenses, and "becomes" is the third person singular present tense. Therefore, "became" is the only correct answer when referring to an action completed in the past.
