Is it better to go or get? Why do people get angry after they get angry?

To mean ‘become + adjective’, you can sometimes have to say ‘go + adjective’ and sometimes ‘get + adjective’. Why did

he become so angry?

“He ran away and he ran to the gate. He did not get a word.” He sat out. “He

went crazy. ‘It’s hard to keep him from revealing his weaknesses. ”

Why is he actually getting really crazy? “But He

got furious. We must love God.

He went angry. When he received the axe, he ‘got over with his fight and ‘and waited for the moment’, he turned away. ‘

ngram viewer. He went angry. He got angry before it ended. He went crazy. This led to a bad mood. He gets crazy. He went furious until someday the beast might see him. What made him angry we asked him some questions.

Why do I have to learn adjective by adjective to identify which verb that we collocate with during my learning?

Where of some variations of syntax will go (and not usually get ) be used before adjective in many common

expressions that refer to changes for the worse.

People want to go mad or crazy or deaf or blind, gray or bald. etc. Note that we use get, not go, with olds getting tired and ill.

What is a bad thing about this quote?

I think the choice between ‘go’ and ‘get’ to collocate with an adjective obeys two criteria:

1) whether the adjective is gradable or extreme :

you go bananas, not * get bananas because you cannot be * very bananas, only completely bananas ( extreme adjective) whereas you

get

angry, not * go angry, because you can be very angry ( gradable adjective).. but that’s not enough,

because why then would you get furious, not *

go

If a adjective does not express a quality

you can control over (e.g. not going bald), consider putting a hat on or

going crazy. If your anger is intense but it overwhelms you, and you go to the trash bin, you get furious.

If the adjective

is gradable, get ( get old/tired/ill because you can be very old/tired/ill ); if it is extreme,

go, unless it describes something you can have control over/over, in which case you still use get.

Sorry about the English translation. No grammar books to quote from, just a hunch. In fact, I don’t look

up google. And I’m not that old.
