happen: 指“偶然發(fā)生”時(shí)，主語(yǔ)為“事”；當(dāng)主語(yǔ)是“人”時(shí)，意為“碰巧”, sb. happen to do sth.
sth. happen to sb./sth. 指不好的事情發(fā)生在某人（物）身上。

occur: 指“發(fā)生”時(shí)可與 happen 換用，但后接to sb．／sth．時(shí)，兩者含義不同：
occur to sb． 指“某種思想等呈現(xiàn)于某人的知覺(jué)中”。
_ Didn’t it occur to you to phone them about it? 你難道就沒(méi)想過(guò)給他們打個(gè)電話(huà)？
take place: 表示“發(fā)生”，可與 happen 或occur換用，但其后面一般不接 to sb.／sth．結(jié)構(gòu)；指計(jì)劃安排好必然會(huì)發(fā)生的事情時(shí)，多用 take place；此外take place 還可表示“舉行某種活動(dòng)”。
