Can I use なる with positive verbs?


So I find the pattern `Negative verb/ i-adjective + なる` very convenient,
because, at least I think, it shows the change from a state into another.

For instance:

> それをもうしないと約束するなら、怒らなくなる。

For me it puts emphasis in the actual state of being angry and the change that
might come to a different state. While just using `怒らない` would just mean that
you won't be angry.

Now my question is, **can we do that with positive verbs? And if we can, is it
common/natural to do so?**

I don't know exactly how that could be done, but my attempt would be something
like this:

> それをすれば、怒るようになる。 - If you do that, I'll change from my "not angry" state, to
> an angry state.

or maybe:

> それをすれば、怒ってなってくる。

Thanks in advance! Also, besides grammar, if any of my assumptions are
incorrect, please let me know.




You seem to misunderstand 怒るようになる or おこらなくなる. It doesn't mean state change
from being not angry to being angry or vise versa, but to acquire furious
tendency or so.

If you combine with an adjective, you can use 腹立たしい → 腹立たしくなる. However, it
doesn't give the effect you wanted. It rather softens or blurs the boundary.

What you wanted will be （そう しないと約束したら）もう怒らない (recommended) / 怒るのをやめる and （そう
したら）おこる.
