Le Present form of devenir

The lesson Question: Nous ________ insomniaques avec l'âge.

We're becoming insomniac with age.(HINT: Conjugate "devenir" (to become) in Le Présent)
I wrote "devons" which is consistent with the exampls of Le Present shown in the Discuss and Learn for venir and tenir. But the answer that was stated as correct was "devenons". I am confused as this is not consisten with any of the 'ir' verbs I have learned so far.

Salut! Bruce,

Very happy to try to help, but I'm a bit confused by your query.

Nous devenons is correct, and consistent with the verb roots deven, ven, ten. Perhaps this is what is confusing the conjugation of these verbs for you?

Bonne journée

Jim
