happen的用法

happen是不及物动词，它的用法常见的有如下几种情况：

A car accident happened to her this morning. 今天上午她发生了交通事故。

What happened to you? 你怎么啦？

3）表示“某人碰巧做某事”，要用“sb.+ happen+ to do sth.”这一结构来表达。例如：

I happened to meet a friend of mine in the street yesterday. 昨天我碰巧在街上遇到了我的一个朋友。

4）happen表示“碰巧或恰巧发生某事”时，还可用“It happens / happened that...”这一结构来表达。例如：
