Thank you very much. I like your sentence.

Just out of curiosity, is the sentence I wrote wrong: you made me a doctor.

Also, is this sentence correct:
I have become a doctor because of you.

It is wrong to say: i became a doctor ......, right?

Many thanks.

Thanks!
which is correct in this context:

I have become a doctor because of you.

vs

I became a doctor because of you.

Are they both correct? which is more appropriate? Both?

It is the usual difference between present perfect and past tense. To emphasise recency or relevance to the present situation, use "have become". When describing historical events, use "became".
