happen是不及物动词,它的用法常见的有如下几种情况: 1. 表示“某地(某时)发生了什么事”,常用“sth.+ happen +地点/时间”这一结构来表达,此时主语应是事情。例如: The story happened in 2003. 这个故事发生在2003年。 An accident happened in that street. 那条街上发生了一起事故。 2. 表示“某人出了某事(常指不好的事)”,要用“sth.+ happen+to sb.”这一结构来表达。例如: 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: It happened that Brian and Peter were at home that day. 碰巧那天布莱恩和彼得在家了。 It happened that he had to take part in a meeting that afternoon. 碰巧那天下午他不得不参加一个会议。 注:that从句中的主语是人时,此种结构可以与“sb.+ happen + to do sth.”结构互换。例如: It happened that Brian and Peter were at home that day. = Brian and Peter happened to be at home that day.
Happen的三种用法与三点注意 一、happen是不及物动词。happen在初中英语教材中的用法主要有以下三种: 1. "sth.+happen+地点/时间",意为"某地/某时发生了某事"。例如: An accident happened in that street.那条街发生了一起事故。 What's happening outside?外面发生什么事了? 2. "sth.+happen to+sb."意为"某人出了某事(常指不好的事发生在某人身上)"。例如: A car accident happened to him yesterday.昨天他发生了交通事故。 What happened to you?(=What was wrong / the matter with you?)你怎么啦? 3. "sb.+happen+to do sth."意为"某人碰巧做某事"。例如: I happened to meet her in the street.我碰巧在街上遇见她。 It happened that I was out when he called.他来访时我碰巧不在。 二、同学们在使用happen时,以下三点情况值得注意: 1. happen为不及物动词,不能用于被动语态。例如,要表示"这个故事发生在去年。"不能说:The story was happened last year.但可以说:The story happened last year. 2. happen为短暂性动词,不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。例如,要表示"这事发生一年了。"不能说:This happened for one year.但可以说:This happened one year ago. 3. happen一般用来强调某事发生的偶然性。如要表示事先安排或有准备的事情或活动,则不能用happen,而要用take place。例如: A sports meeting took place(=was held) in our school last week.上周我校举行了运动会。(不能说:A sports meeting happened in our school last
