Conjugations for devenir

Bonjour,

I was working on a quiz and I put "La situation devienne incontrôlable" but that answer is wrong? Apparently, even though la situation is feminine, the answer is "La situation devient..."??

Bonjour Milena,

Third person singular subject conjugation for the verb devenir is indeed devient.

The subject is La situation 

You seem to have used a subjunctive conjugation which is incorrect, the conjugation needs to be indicatif present (devient)

Bonne continuation

Jim

Hi Milena,

first off, devenir is a verb and, as such, it doesn't reflect grammatical gender at all. There is no feminine or masculine version of the verb. The 3rd person singular is devient and is the same for il devient, elle devient and on devient.
