Rule for using GO instead of GET

GO is used for changes in people's personality, appearance and physical abilities
(ex: People go mad/bald/grey/blind/deaf.)

GO is often used for sudden, usually negative, changes
(ex: His face went red.)

GO can also be used for slower colour changes
(ex: The pages of the books had gone yellow over the years)

Rules for using TURN instead of GET

Turn often collocates with colours
(ex: The sky turned gold as the sun set.)

Rules for using GET and BECOME

GET and BECOME can often be used with the same sollocations, but BECOME is mor formal
(ex: She gave up smoking when she became pregnant.)

The same is true for collocations with adjectives such as angry, bored, excited, depressed, upset, impatient, violent
(ex: He became depressed after his wife's death)

BECOME ist used with the following:
