More on the old Get-Become verbs: Hacerse volverse Convertirse Ponerse etc

Question

Hi all,

Well, I´ve viewed the video here a while back, and about to watch it again, but I¨d be open to any more suggestions on the equivalents to the English verbs Get and Become, such Hacerse, Volverse, Convertirse, Ponerse etc (and I think I´m forgetting at least one more common one)

Any personal favorite articles or videos on the topic that anyone can recommend? Or exercizes? Just repeating exercises helps me a lot, once I have the basics down.

I need both.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks Roger

Answer 5

To become old, get older: enviejarse.

Possibly, that's not what you want to know but I'm very short of time at the moment.

One of the many I wanted, and one that's relevant to all of us, so thanks! - rogspax, Feb 3, 2013

Answer 6

This is a good, short video about volverse and ponerse. In it, she explains how volverse is related to ser and ponerse is related to estar. It made things much clearer for me. Maybe you'll find it useful.

volverse and ponerse
