Some languages use a dative in situations where others require the
accusative, and that's why we translate the literal "become to" as
"become" in English.
Similarly, Russian (as you know) requires genitive after some
negation, but it would be a mistake to use the genitive in those
situation in English. (E.g., Russian "I don't have time" should
clearly NOT be "I don't have time's" in English.) Other examples
abound.
