happen和take place的区别

take place与 happen的用法与区别
固定词组take place意为发生，举行，多指举行活动，发生某事（可指发生好事或不好的事），happen多指发生意外事故，不幸的事。如：
（1）The opening of the play will take place tomorrow night. 剧的首演式将于明晚举行。（take place不能用happen代换）
（2）The accident took place only a block from my home. 事故发生地离我家只一个街区。（took place 可以用happened代换）
动词happen以及词组take place, break out 等只能用作不及物动词，不能用被动语态形式。如：
(1)The car accident happened last week. 交通事故发生在上星期。（不能说：The car accident was happened last week.）
(2) The war broke out in October. 战争于10月份爆发。（不能说：The war was broken out in October.）
happen to do 意思是：碰巧。
It happened to be a fine one that day.
那天碰巧天气好。

It happens that...后接从句，意思也是碰巧。 It happens that his sister is a closed friend of mine.
碰巧她姐姐是我的一个好朋友。
It so happened that both of them were there.
正好他们两人都在那儿。

happen主语是事件，take place主语是it

两者都表示“发生”，但有区别：
happen 表示偶然的没有预料到的事情的发生，而 take place 表示必然发生或经过布置、策划后进行的事情。
例如：
An accident happened in that street.（那条街上发生了一起事故。）
Great changes tookplace last year in my hometown.（去年我的家乡发生了很大的变化。）
表示某人发生了什么事情要用 sth.  happen (s) to sb.，而不用 take place。
例如：What happened to her? （她出什么事了？）
