it become

to become, to come into being, to happen; primarily denotes the process of transition from one state to another, the coming into existence or reality of something that was not previously so. In various contexts, it can also mean to occur, take place, arise, develop, or change; sometimes serves as a circumlocution for 'to be' when indicating the process or result of becoming, rather than simple existence. Used of events, states, and sometimes of persons or things coming to be in a particular role or status.
