How to write “happen” in the past tense? Is it happened or happend?
Hello everyone! Hope someone can answer my question. I really don’t like reading long grammar articles with all those rules and exceptions. So, could anyone clarify what is the past tense form for “happen”? Is it “happened” or “happend”?

Happened is the correct version. Remember, though, social media often contains non-standard [incorrect if you wish] spellings of words [either to look trendy or to save space]
Hello. Happened is correct. We add (ed) at the end of regular verbs like happen, talk, watch,.. to change them to simple past. Some verbs end in (e) like (like), so we just as (d): liked. Some verbs end in y, like study, so we omit y and add ied: studied.

Hello Ewan. The correct form is “happened” The word Happen is a regular verb and with most regular verbs we add “ed” at the end of the base word to make it past tense. Hope this helps. Good luck 😊
it is -happened for example: what HAPPENED to turkey?
