易错句子The street became widen after the project.

become 是系动词,后面接形容词作表语,不能接动词原形;表示“变得更宽”用形容词比较级 wider(若要强调逐渐变宽的过程,也可说 was widening)。
widen的反义词,表示范围或宽度的减小。
broaden 强调范围、视野或经验的拓宽,多用于抽象事物,如 broaden your horizons、broaden the discussion,语体偏正式;widen 更常指物理宽度变大,或差距、范围的扩大,如 widen the road、widen the gap。两者都表示“范围扩大”时意思接近,可以互换,但 broaden 偏抽象、偏书面。
enlarge 指整体尺寸或规模变大,如放大照片、扩建房屋;widen 只表示某物变宽或宽度增大,不表示整体变大。所以 a photo was enlarged 不能换成 widened,enlarge a house 也不能换成 widen a house。
expand 指体积、数量、业务或范围的扩展,常含由内向外增长之意,如 expand a business、metal expands when heated;widen 侧重宽度方向变大或差距加大。谈业务、市场扩张时一般用 expand,不用 widen。
