~When the tomatoes turn red, the farmers pick them and sell them.
~The news gave his mother such a shock that her hair turned white overnight.

⏺Get and become
🔘Get and become can often be used with the same collocations, but become is more formal and is therefore more appropriate in essays:

~I would like to become involved in raising money for charity.
▪️The same is true for collocations with adjectives such as angry, bored, excited, depressed upset, impatient, violent:
~He became depressed after his wife's death.
