    [reveal-answer q=”69863″]”To become” + “to realize”[/reveal-answer]
    [hidden-answer a=”69863”]

    There are three verbs in Spanish that are used reflexively and imply transformations or changes; these verbs are not interchangeable! Note the situations described below for each verb:

    1. Ponerse (sudden, physical or emotional change, effortless, almost always a person)
    2. Volverse (sudden and extreme transformation, emotional/physical/situational, involuntary change; doesn’t have to be a person)
    3. Hacerse/Pasar a ser/ Llegar a ser (long term, requires an effort; these are usually used in the past when the action is completed)

    Darse cuenta de

    This is often translated into English as “to realize”, meaning “to find out” or “to know for the first time”. When followed by a noun or an infinitive use “darse cuenta de”. When followed by a conjugated verb, standard Spanish uses “darse cuenta que”, but it’s possible to say “darse cuenta de que”.
