Became / Become in Espanol?

Question

How to say "She became sad, and started to cry." ?

Answer 1

I'd translate it as 'se puso triste y comenzo/empezo (your choice) a llorar. Both "comenzo" (from the verb 'comenzar') and "empezo" (from the verb 'empezar') have an accent on the last 'o'.

'To become + adjective' is normally translated as 'ponerse + adjective' in Spanish. In the past tense, it is common to see this structure conjugated in the preterit form, as in the translation, since it implies a change in the person's mental state (something like 'she was OK, but after she heard the news/saw something, she became sad')

Answer 2

Se puse triste, y empeso a llorar, OR se puso triste, y comenzo a llorar. They both mean the same thing.

Answer 3

Hello, I am from Venezuela, my mother tongue is spanish, the translation is:

Ella se puso triste y empezo a llorar.

Answer 4

Ella se hizo triste. = She became sad.
Ella se puso triste. = She became sad.

"hacerse" or "ponerse" can be used to say "to become ....(adjective)"

Ella empezó a llorar. = She started to cry.
Ella comenzó a llorar. = She started to cry.

To "to start to... (verb)" you would use "empezar" or "comenzar"

SOOOO.... the sentence is:
Ella se puso triste y empezó a llorar.
