小升初必會語法happen 用法小結
生活中什么事都可能會“發(fā)生(happen)”。那么,你知道怎樣使用happen這個詞嗎?下面北京泡泡少兒英語冬令營就對happen的用法作一小結。
北京新東方泡泡少兒英語冬令營:
happen是不及物動詞,它的用法常見的有如下幾種情況:
1. 表示“某地(某時)發(fā)生了什么事”,常用“sth.+ happen +地點/時間”這一結構來表達,此時主語應是事情。例如:
the story happened in 2003. 這個故事發(fā)生在2003年。
an accident happened in that street. 那條街上發(fā)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.”這一結構來表達。例如:
a car accident happened to her this morning. 今天上午她發(fā)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.”這一結構來表達。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個朋友。
4. happen表示“碰巧或恰巧發(fā)生某事”時,還可用“it happens / happened that...”這一結構來表達。例如:
it happened that brian and peter were at home that day. 碰巧那天布萊恩和彼得在家了。
it happened that he had to take part in a meeting that afternoon. 碰巧那天下午他不得不參加一個會議。
注:that從句中的主語是人時,此種結構可以與“sb.+ happen + to do sth.”結構互換。例如:
it happened that brian and peter were at home that day. = brian and peter happened to be at home that day.
