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

Rules for using TURN instead of GET

Turn often collocates with colours

(ex: He became depressed after his wife's death)
