In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "no improvement". The realisation came when we noticed that our children (had becoming) too dependent on us. Correct Answer had become

The correct answer is- 'had become'
Key Points

  • Using 'had become' in the place of 'had becoming' to make the sentence correct.
  • We know that the sentence is in the past perfect so that 3rd form of the main verb will be followed after the helping verb. Replace 'become' instead of 'becoming'.
  • Structure of Past Perfect: Sub + had + V3 + object
    • Example: She had met him before the party.

The correct sentence is- The realisation came when we noticed that our children had become too dependent on us.
