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 week.)
