Usages of 되다.

This is a very important question and I will be glad to whoever takes the time to answer!

I am trying to understand the million ways in which "되다" is used, as a verb (to become/to spend) but also as an auxiliar, when used in constructions like have to, need to, or in sentences like "좋은 하루 되세요", used as a way to be polite. It is also used as "be/get to be".

Can someone please try and give me a "list" of situations in which "되다" is used? Even if just one comes up to your mind which I haven't mentioned, please write it down! 고마워요!
