Teacher Re: make/set/start etc Here is how I'd do it:
His words made me think / got me to think / set me to think / started me to think.
His words set / got / started me thinking.
The flood sent / had / got / started the prices shooting up.
The flood made / had / got / set the prices to go up.
The flood made / had / got / set the prices to go up.
