No, however... there are words (verbs) that you can divide into 2 other words, which by chance, are also verbs. But those verbs have nothing to do with the other verbs on which you can divide them!!! It happens especially in the verbs which begin with be, like become (be + come), behold (be + hold). If that's what you're referring to, then the answer in yes.

But those verbs have nothing to do with the ones in which you can divide them. They all have different and unrelated meanings (or, at least, they don't necessarily have related meanings. If they do, it's just chance...)

So, this is basically a word game. If so, the answer is yes. If you want no word games, the answer is no.

fivejedjonNo.

Um... Yes. You can divide the verb become into be and come. Of course, those meanings may have nothing to do with each other, as I tried to highlight, but you can. It's, basically, just a word game. It has nothing to do with their meanings, and I made a point to underline that in a noticeable way. But you can't deny that B + E = BE nor that C + O + M + E = COME, nor that, therefore, B + E + C + O + M + E = BE + COME = BECOME. Just a word game. No semantics whatsoever.

MrGuedes Yes. You can divide the verb become into be and come.

My point was that the be of these two verbs has nothing to do with the verb BE.

Oh! OK, I see. I hadn't understood that was your point. OK, now everything makes much more sense! I see... OK, in that case, thank you (once again), fivejedjon!
