He became a teacher

Question

Is "he became a teacher" the same as "he turned teacher"?

Sorry, I had to repeat my question because the link doesn't work but it has similar meaning.

Thank you. I hope this time is correct.

Answer 1

To become in the sense of enter a profession should be hacerse, which is a reflexive verb. Volverse (volver means to turn) means become in the sense of having an emotion arise within about something, for example, he became jealous.

I'm sorry, you probably wanted the English! You say, he became a teacher. "He turned teacher" isn't something you'd say. You could say, "He turned himself into a teacher", but that is a bit more complicated and would be said in the context of becoming a teacher inadvertently while doing something else.

Answer 2

You can't say "he turned teacher" in English.
