Why "has become" not "has became" in present perfect?
0 Dear all, 02 br
02 br
00 For Present Perfect tense we use [HAS / HAVE] + [past participle] like: 02 br
00 1. You have grown since the last time I saw you. 02 br
00 2. The government has become more interested in arts education. 02 br
00 ( 01 a 05 0 00 02 a 00 ) 02 br
02 br
00 Why in example 2 become is used instead of became? Shouldn't it be in simple past form? 02 br

00 No, because it's related to the present, it's not at some remote past time. What they really want to say is: 02 br

it's just one of those irregular verbs that doesn't follow the rules that most verbs do, so we just have to learn and accept them the way they are
