Learners may use "be" instead of a verb of change, saying *"The company is different"* when they want to talk about the process. Using "undergo" highlights the change over time, as in "The company has undergone changes." Also, some learners try *"pass a change"* or *"support a change"* where "undergo a change" is standard.
