broke/broken

[hlbert03]

Which between these two is correct?

- The vase has become broke.

- The vase has become broken.

hi,

Neither of them!

First of all you have to "rub out" the word become.
Correct variants:

The vase broke. (yesterday, last week/year etc)=this is past tense
The vase has broken. ( and you have to buy a new one)=present perfect

And one more variation:
The vase is broken.

By the way, hlbert03, your question would have been this way:
Which of these two is correct?

Thanks.

hlbert03, you may also meet this very informal usage: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. This is not grammatically correct, but I've rarely heard "If it isn't broken, don't mend it" - except from someone with a tweed jacket and leather elbow patches

ps
The last line might need explanation: in BE (maybe AmE too?) traditionalist academics are supposed to dress like that.
