Hi!
I need help really a.s.a.p.!!

This is a sentence transformation exercise. I don't understand the model sentence:

In the future she became a successful business woman.
Key word: WENT

She........................... a successful business woman.

Question: Is it correct the phrase In the future in the model sentence? Why is it used with a past tense verb (became)?

Can the following transformation sentences be correct?

She WENT on working hard to become a successful....etc.

She WENT far and became a successful....etc.

Anyone who can help me, I'll be very grateful! Thanks a lot!

Hi vero2006,

You're on the right track.

She went on to become a successful business woman.
