Discover LudwigThe part of a sentence "it was became" is not grammatically correct and should not be used in written English
The word "became" is a past tense verb, so using it after "was" (which is also past tense) is redundant and does not make sense. Instead, you could use either "it was" or "it became" in a sentence, depending on the intended meaning. Here are two examples: - "It was a difficult decision to make." (Here, "was" indicates something that was true or existing in the past.) - "It became apparent that she had been lying." (Here, "became" indicates a change or transition from one state to another.)
