加介詞in,例如:
1、The thing happened in an out-of-the-way village in Henan.這事發生在河南一個偏僻的農村。
2、This happened in the centre of operations.這事發生在演習的過程中。
3、Tell me what happened in your own words.用你自己的話告訴我出了什麼事。
happen是不及物動詞,後面加介詞才能加賓語,加什麼介詞取決於需要表達什麼意思。比如發生在上午,發生在三點鐘,發生在校園外等,分別用it happened in the morning ,it happened at three o'clock, it happpenet outside the shool等。
但是如果表達某人發生某事,要用something happen to sb.這個用法,比如An accident happened to him yesterday.
