Step-by-step explanation:

When an igneous rock becomes buried, is subjected to high heat and pressure, and recrystallizes it is formed into Metamorphic rock. Now this rock is eroded, transported, deposited and subsequently lithified to be converted into Sedimentary rock.

The same igneous rock is first converted into Metamorphic and then into sedimentary by the process of weathering.
