most to the "to..." verb infinitives can be looked up in the dictionary.
To frown=fruncir el ceño
To smile=sonreír
to shout=gritar
to cry=llorar
the "to be...." usually are said with the verb ESTAR (to be) + the adjective form on the word.
to be happy=estar contento(a)
to be sad=estar triste
(unless you wish to say that the person has a happy personality: Ser+contento(a))
but as JCameron states the reflexive form is often used when saying to be saddened, etc.
entristecerse (ponerse triste)
We'll given you one example and you can look up the rest. Look under More (Más) at the top of the page, then Conjugation (Conjugación). Enter the verb infinitive in the box. It will conjugate the verb into its tenses and moods.
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but, "disfrutarse" means "to enjoy oneself" (you can chop off the "se" to make it "to enjoy")
