Happen is used when talking about events that have not been planned. It should be used for events that are spontaneous or accidental.
Happen does not have a passive form. Happen is usually used after vague words like something, thing, it, what or this.

On the other hand, “happen” is used with these nouns as the subject: The list is by no means exhaustive.
attack , avalanche , earthquake, burglary , catastrophe , collision , crash , crime , death , disaster , explosion, injury, killing, murder, riot , tragedy

abuse , breakthrough , change , event , incident , leak , merger , miracle , mistake , phenomenon , transformation

The accident happened at nine o'clock this morning.
What’s happened?
Something terrible has happened!

If “happen” is used as a linking verb, it means to do or be something by chance, especially when the subject is a person.

I happened to be out of town at that time.
He happens to be my friend, so don’t say nasty thing about him.

If you adopt a new attitude, plan, or way of behaving, you decide to start using (or having) a particular idea, plan, manner or method that is not the one you usually use or have.
