If using the potential form, take care to mark your "objects" with が. Potential form does not take objects.

せるになった。
になった。

The use of the potential form is more likely when you instinctively start doing something you haven't done before such as learning to walk or talk. But it is not used when you are doing something that is considered a habit or hobby.

~ようになるis basically to describe changes but in verbs. There's a slight difference between using potential and dictionary form.
(potential form)+ようになる→ to describe a change in ability
(dictionary form)+ようになる→ to describe a change in habit

Title of this page is ok, but main grammar library page shows なくる. The kanji for なる is no longer used (at least not to my knowledge).

Also, a couple things about the model sentences. The kanji for よう is popping up as but it should be . And in the fifth sentence, 「くようになるきました」 is popping up; when I try to edit the Japanese through the "Is this Japanese correct" link, the Japanese is already correct as it displays 「うちのをきくようになってきました。」

Shouldn't the construction section also show the possibility, as mentioned in the usage notes and illustrated in the examples, of using

"[Verb: Potential form] +よう+に+なる"

rather than only the dictionary form ?

で、しいですか?

  • それがべられないようになった。
  • それがべられなくなった。

They sound exactly the same to me. I comment because if true, the form, なくなる is switchable by ~ない + ようになる

ありがとう

There's a bit more information about it here: https://japanese.stackexchange...

Basically, they are the same, but the one on the top is more complex than necessary, so it's rarely used.
