a series of fortunate events happen有冇錯grammar

Hi,
A series of fortunate events (ocurred/happened).
I suggest you use " ocurred".

A series of fortunate events( has ocurred).
You should use either" present perfect tense" or " simple past tense".
It is because that means 發生.
You may use future tense or present tense too.
Examples:
Future:
1) A series of fortunate events would occur. ( lower possibility)
2) A series of fortunate events will probably occur. ( higher)
3) A series of fortunate events are going to occur, I think.( very high possibility)
________________________________________
1) A series of fortunate events may occur.( high)
2) A series of fortunate events might occur.( lower)
Note: If you say " A series of fortunate events happenS",( present tense)
It implies that it is a general truth.


A series of fortunate events.( It is singular here)

_________________________________________________
Usage Note: Series is both a singular and a plural form. When it has the singular sense of "one set," it takes a singular verb, even when series is followed by of and a plural noun: A series of lectures is scheduled. When it has the plural sense of "two or more sets," it takes a plural verb: Two series of lectures are scheduled: one for experts and one for laypeople.
