Verbs of change (semi-copulatives) SER: hacerse
Ser:
- Hacerse - Pues yo ya era fan antes de que fuera famoso.
- Pues yo ya era fan antes de que se hiciera famoso.
Verbs of change (semi-copulatives) SER: volverse
Used exactly like hacerse (highlights the moment when you acquire a new ser quality)
BUT
Volverse emphasizes the contrast between how things used to be and how they are now.
“Bieber se ha vuelto famoso” - expresses how Bieber was once unknown but now has become famous.
Bieber se ha hecho famoso - doesn’t express anything to do with the past.
Verbs of change (semi-copulatives) SER/ESTAR: Volverse with estar
Volverse can be used with both ser and estar. We will focus on estar.
“¿Por qué se ha vuelto tan pesado tu hermano?”
- “No sé. Estará en la edad del pavo.”
If someone becomes especially nice (or annoying), you will describe their change differently depending on how long you think it will last.
Volverse with estar expresses new events that you think will last longer than ponerse.
Verbs of change (semi-copulatives) ESTAR: Ponerse
If you think the change will be a brief one, use ponerse. -
“Mamá, ¿te estás poniendo enojado con papá?” (Getting angry)
“No, hija. Ya estoy enfadada con él.”
Verbs of change (semi-copulatives) neither ser/estar: Quedarse
Quedarse doesn’t care about the likelihood of change, the past or the future. It cares about the aftermath of events:
quedarse tranquilo, to feel in peace / to relax (about something)
“Pepe, no te quedes callado. Dile algo a mi madre.”
Not really a verb of change
Verbs of change (semi-copulatives): REVIEW
- Hacerse and volverse act as verbs of change when they replace ser (changes in essence).
Volverse is past-focused and hacerse is not. - Ponerse and quedarse (and sometimes volverse) act as verbs of change when they replace estar (changes in state).
- Ponerse describes changes in state that are likely to change, while volverse focuses on changes that are unlikely to change.
- Quedarse cares about aftermaths and anticlimaxes.
(Convertirse en, transformarse en, resultar = ser, volverse)
Ponerse a + infinitive
To start doing something that implies an action -
ponerse a lavar los platos- to start washing the dishes
