It means \u201cto become\u201d, but can also be translated differently in various contexts. You might think that the <em>devenir <\/em>conjugation looks familiar, and that\u2019s probably because it contains the verb \u201cvenir\u201d meaning \u201cto come\u201d. If you\u2019re familiar with the <em>venir<\/em> conjugation then you\u2019re already off to a great start.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-5843-_27x434umnfy1\"><\/a>Important Things to Know about the <em>Devenir<\/em> Conjugation<\/h2>\n<p>While \u201cdevenir\u201d usually means \u201cto become\u201d, it can also be used any time we want to talk about a <strong>transition from one state to another<\/strong>. A few common examples include <em>devenir grand, devenir fou<\/em>, and <em>devenir amis<\/em>, which mean to <em>grow up, to go crazy<\/em> and <em>to make friends<\/em>, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>It can also mean \u201cto become of\u201d somebody or something, in the sense \u201chappen to\u201d, for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Que va <strong>devenir<\/strong> l&#8217;\u00e9cole maintenant que le directeur a d\u00e9missionn\u00e9 ? &#8211; <em>What will become of the school now that the head teacher has resigned?<\/em><\/li>\n<li>J&#8217;ai peur de penser \u00e0 ce que <strong>deviendra<\/strong> l&#8217;enfant si sa m\u00e8re ne revient pas &#8211; <em>I dread to think what will become of the child if her mother doesn\u2019t come back<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Take note of where the vowels are when reading and writing \u201cdevenir\u201d. A very similarly spelled word which it mustn\u2019t be confused with is \u201cdeviner\u201d which means \u201cto guess\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The devenir conjugation is one that <strong>requires the auxiliary \u201c\u00eatre\u201d<\/strong> rather than \u201cavoir\u201d. You will see this in compound tenses such as the<em> pass\u00e9 compos\u00e9<\/em> and pluperfect tenses. The mnemonic device \u201cDr. Mrs. Vandertramp\u201d can help you to learn the other verbs that use \u201c\u00eatre\u201d as a helping verb.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-5843-_5v21uujm5l15\"><\/a><em>Devenir<\/em> Conjugation Present Tense (le pr\u00e9sent)<\/h2>\n<p>You can use the French present tense to talk about regular occurrences, habits, facts and things that are happening right at this very moment.
