什麼時候用
happen 跟 occur 一樣沒有被動語態,但 happen 更口語。它還有一個特別的句型:happen to V,意思是「碰巧」。
常見錯誤
- was happened 是錯的。
- happen to somebody 是「發生在某人身上」,happen to V 是「碰巧做了某事」——同一個介系詞,兩種結構。
- 「無論如何」是 whatever happens,不是 whatever will happen。
常見搭配
- happen to
- what happened
- as it happens
例句
What happened here?

I happened to see her at the station.
我碰巧在車站看到她。
Nothing like this has ever happened before.
以前從沒發生過這種事。
