Questions & Answers about Er hat kein Geld und wird arm.
Why does the English translation use "is getting" instead of "becomes"?
In German, werden means "to become" or "to get" (in the sense of a changing state, like getting poor). Since German does not have a separate continuous tense like English does with "-ing" verbs, wird can translate to "becomes", "is becoming", or "is getting" depending on what sounds most natural.
Why is the verb form wird here instead of werdet?
The verb werden is irregular in the present tense. For the du (you) and er/sie/es (he/she/it) forms, the vowel changes from "e" to "i". That is why it is ich werde, but du wirst and er/sie/es wird.
Why do we use kein here instead of nicht to say "no money"?
Why is there no er (he) after und?
Just like in English, when the subject is the exact same for both halves of a sentence connected by und, you do not need to repeat it. You could say Er hat kein Geld und er wird arm, but dropping the second er is more natural.
