Notes

いい changes on its よ stem: 良[よ]くなる, never ×いくなる. Standalone なくなる (from ない) means "run out; disappear" — 時間[じかん]がなくなった.

  • The same "become" split by word class — nouns and na-adjectives take になる (医者になる、静かになる), i-adjectives take stem+くなる (高くなる); the two never swap hosts, so the choice is grammar, not nuance.
