about intransitive verb

[edmondjanet]

Hello everyone,
I was become
He was become
It seems to me as a passive voice. I have seen such type of sentences, but "become" is intransitve verb. Is there any website availabe to refer or study about transitive verb and intransitive verb.
Thank you

Where have you seen 'he was become'? Wherever you have seen it, it is not passive; it can't be.

Have you tried googling 'transitive verb' and 'intransitive verb'?

Yes, but lots of doubts.
I have seen and read this type of sentences. I am not sure where it is, I think in the Bible. When I see this next time, I will quote this.
Thank you.

If you found it in the King James version, remember that that was published four centuries ago. Don't use it as a model for the language of today.

...or even the King James version.

;-)

That one, too.

It appears in the Bhagavad Gita:

Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.

But we don't use it in ordinary language- have become would be the normal form.
