Learn English – “After given” or “after being given”

grammaticality

After given the chicken feed, the crickets become big and strong.

This sentence is wrong, isn't it? It should be

After being given the chicken feed, the crickets become big and
strong.

Is that correct?

Best Answer

Almost. You must also use became instead of become.

After being given the chicken feed, the crickets became big and strong.

If you wish to use become then it should be phrased:

When given chicken feed, crickets become big and strong.
