Is there a difference between -となる and -になる??

drgon76

in the example above the と is a half of こと 「事 」
I think it is almost always になる
に as in "to" (a place). maybe sometimes its omitted.
　大変となります...
someone native will have to answer...

One would say 大変なことになります in stead of 大変となります.

ざっと計算しても means "even with a rough computation" and there is no meaning to it which would suggest "Even though I budget all the time."

I don't think there is a difference between them when noun + -となる or -になる.
eg. ok 雨になる。雨となる。社長になる。社長となる。
But I agree -になる is used mostly.

Agree with みきさん。

私の息子を先生になりたいです (I want my son to be a teacher) is gramatically correct? If not, how it should be said? Should を be replaced by が?

Paty

Maybe it should be 私の息子に先生になって欲しい。???

Paty

私の息子を先生になりたいです isn`t the を miss used here. I thought that with なる the object always took the が particle?
