happen的“三种用法”与“三点注意”:
1.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”。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)”。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”。如:
I happened to meet her in the street.我碰巧在街上遇见她了。
It happened that I was out when he called.他来访时我碰巧不在。
2.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。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.)

1.April Fool's Day is a celebration that takes place in different countries around the world.愚人节是一种发生在世界上不同国家的庆祝活动。
辨析:happen 与take place
happen常指具体的事情的发生,特别指那些偶然的“发生”。 后接不定式时,表示“碰巧;恰好”之意。如:
New things are happening all around us.新事在我们周围不断发生。
I happened to be in the lab that day.那天我碰巧在实验室。
take place 通常指事先计划或预料到的“发生”。 还可表示“举行”的意思。如:
Great changes have taken place in China since 1980.自1980年以来,中国发生了巨大的变化。
The sports meeting will take place in our school.运动会将在我校举行。
【小试牛刀】
用happen和take place填空。
(1)When will the basketball match between Class 3 and Class 4 ________?
(2)I ________ to have read the article when he asked me about it.
(3)When will the ceremony ________?
(4)That accident ________ at the corner.
(Keys:(1)take place;(2)happened;(3)take place;(4)happened)
2.Many people ran to their local supermarkets to buy as much spaghetti as they could.很多人跑到当地的超市抢购尽可能多的意大利面条。
as +形容词/副词的原级+ as sb.can/could 意为“尽可能地……”,在句中作状语。as +形容词/副词的原级+ as sb.can/could = as + 形容词/副词原级+ as possible。如:
We must do everything as well as possible.= We must do everything as well as we can.我们要尽量做好每一件事。
