Dearest colleagues!
Thanks a lot for your great help and support.
Do we say " How you have become!" istead of " How you have changed!"
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards.

No, "become" needs a descriptive adjective or noun.
Oh, how fat you have become!
My, how beautiful your daughter has become!

Hi Mabdel,
Hope you are really fine.
I would like to add that "change" is neutral or vague in the deep meaning whereas "become" implies a more precise answer. That is why you need more details, you wait for the exact reason why you have changed. Precision given with the descriptive element.
Plenty of hugs dear.
Maryse. |
