「うごけなくなりました」 difficulty

[nonezumi]

Hello,

Please help me with うごけなくなりました translation. I guess it came from

うごく ＋ なく ＋ なりました

So maybe I can translate following sentence:

おばあさんは びっくりして うごけなくなりました。
as
Old woman was frightened, run away, and cried.

Please kindly correct me.

Thank you very much!

Please help me with うごけなくなりました translation. I guess it came from

うごく ＋ なく ＋ なりました

うごけなくなりました
＝うごく ＋ る ＋ なく ＋ なりました
( to move + potential + negation + to become~)

うごける means "be able to move"
i-adjective or ない + なる means to become to the state...
e.g.
あかい＋なる＝あかくなる to become red
あかい＋ない＋なる＝あかくなくなる to become not being red (was red not red any more)

おばあさんは びっくりして うごけなくなりました。
Old woman was frightened, and run away, and cried.

Old woman was frightened, and became immobilized.
(Old woman was frightened, and became to the state that she cannot move)
