Comments
In the second sentence, ser tornado is used to express “become”. But I always thought that become is tornar-se. Could you explain the difference between the two forms? Thank you!
Like you said, tornar-se means “to become”. Tornado is just the past participle form of the same verb. You need this past participle to form that compound tense with “ser tornado”, which more accurately translates as “being made”. That is the difference between “depois de ser tornado” (after being made – it clearly indicates that people made him the leader) and “depois de tornar-se” (after becoming – it is vague as to how he became leader).
