grape ladder Can you distinguish between what is and is not becoming, and what is becoming and is not is? What is and is not becoming is a noun clause. There is no difference between both; What is and is not becoming is the most natural way to express the same thought, whereas What is becoming and is is a weird way to express it.

  • What is and is not becoming is a noun clause.
  • There is no difference between both; What is and is not becoming is the most natural way to express the same thought, whereas What is becoming and is is a weird way to express it.
  • It's a matter of compound verbs ; when two verbs feature the same idea and intend to be repeat, they do not tend to be split; instead, they remain together.
  • It's the same as: He wants to eat, he tries to eat and he likes to eat could easily be replaced by: He wants, likes and tries to eat.
