In the Снегурочкa that I'm reading, they keep on combining an infinitive with a conjugation of стать.

E.g. "... стали кататься на санках..." "Снегурочка горюет так, что Иван с Марьей стали спрашивать" "Пришли за Снегурочкой, стали звать её." "... разожгли костёр и стали через него прыгать" "стали уговаривать" and this last one, "и не стало её", "and then she is no more?"

To me, стать is "to become." Am I wrong?

And as well as some other words that I was not able to comprehend:
"нагладеться" "пригожая" "коса" "хоровод заведём" "Она растёт"

And as well as a couple of phrases...
"Доченька, не заболела ли ты?" This ли ты is making me crazy.
", да так-то горько!"
Oh, and "дело уже шло к старости."

Yes, I'm aware. I have a long way to go.
