peer agreement (net): +1what happened to him/it Explanation: Though the expression (in Port.) literally implies so, it is not necessary to have anything actually "done" to him/it. Depending on the context, the same expression might mean "where is he/it now" or "where has he/it gone". Bear in mind that it can be a male person (he) or a thing (it). |

what happened him/her/it - what was made of .. / what became of Explanation: It much depends on what the "ele" refers to. If it refers to a person, the sentence most probabaly will mean "what ever became of him". If it referst to an inanimate, it may mean either the above or 'what was made with it". |
