If I want to say "to become __(adj.)___", I just turn the adj. into a verb and add -se at the end?
i.e. to become angry = enojarse
to become clear = aclararse
to become happy = alegrarse
to become excited = emocionarse

Hi!
Yes, you're right. To become (sth): volverse (sth). The verb in Spanish becomes a pronominal, with 'se' in its original form. A pronominal verb is that which can be conjugated using the personal pronouns: enojar(me), enojar(te), enojar(lo/la), enojar(nos), enorjar(os), enojarl(los/las).
Here are more examples:
To become clear: aclararse.
To become blurred: volverse borroso.
To become clogged: atrancarse.
To become congested: congestionarse.
To become disorganized: desorganizarse.
To become dry: resecarse.
To become engaged: comprometerse.
To become entangled: verse envuelto.
The difference in Spanish is that you must conjugate the verb, since in English by writing 's' for 'he/she' it's enough. Don't forget to transform the adjective in the feminine form: volverse borroso/borrosa, if it's the case.
I hope it helped. Any doubt, tell me :)
