「なる」The state or condition changes
To become X
By utilizing adjectives and specific nouns, the verb なる to become can convey that the state or condition of a person or object has changed into something different. なる is most commonly used with adjectives.
1
When なる is used with な-adjectives, it must be paired with に, as in Aになる.
この町は静かになった。
This town has become quiet.
この薬で気分が楽になるよ。
This medicine will make you feel more at ease.
2
To attach なる to an い-adjective, it has to be in its adverbial く-form.
子供が大きくなった。
The child has grown up, hasn’t he?
最近寒くなったね。
It has gotten cold lately, hasn't it?
Special Note
One important note, as always, is that いい behaves differently from other い-adjectives. As we touched on before, the original form of いい is よい, and all conjugations are still based on this original form.
This means that in this case, we get よくなる, not いくなる!
