occur
高中高一上/əˈkɝː/
v.發生
to happen
什麼時候用
occur 是不及物動詞，沒有被動語態。「意外發生了」是 The accident occurred，不是 was occurred。另一個常考的用法是 occur to somebody（某人想到）。
常見錯誤
- occur 沒有被動：was occurred 是錯的，happen 也一樣。
- 拼字：occurred、occurring 要雙寫 r。
- It occurred to me that... 是「我忽然想到」，主詞是 it 不是人。
常見搭配
- occur to somebody
- commonly occur
- occurrence rate
例句
Earthquakes occur often here.
這裡常發生地震。
The earthquake occurred just after midnight.
地震發生在午夜過後不久。
It never occurred to me to ask.
我從沒想過要問。
自己試試看
The accident ___ at about six in the morning.
意外發生在早上六點左右。
