#vocabulary
become, begin

Часто путают become и begin в значение "и тут он *стал* что-то там делать". He began/started to work - Он стал работать (=начал).
Become используем только в смысле смены состояния - становиться кем-то/чем-то: he became a doctor. Он стал врачом (раньше не был, теперь врач - состояние его изменилось).
Или становиться каким-то: After giving up smoking, he became fat and irritable. - Бросив курить, он стал толстым и раздражительным.

Те, кто изучал немецкий, еще путает become с get (получать - bekommen (нем.)). Это значение в английском become не несет.

He's just eaten.

's - is или has?

Понимаем по грамматике и/или контексту.

has+глагол в 3 форме - present perfect
is+глагол в 3 форме - present simple passive

Возвращаемся к нашему примеру: He's just eaten.
Он только что поел.
present perfect
Его просто едят (регулярно). present simple passive

Ну, и становится понятным, что вероятно все же первое имеется в виду.

Если же после 's нет глагола в 3 форме, то это точно is, про смысл можно не думать.
He's (=is) sitting on the floor.
