This brings us to a common confusion between “happend” and “happened.” Let’s sort this out. The correct form is “happened”. “Happend” is a common misspelling and is not recognized in English grammar. Happened” is the past tense of the verb “happen,” which means to occur or take place.

1. to take place; come to pass; occur. 2. to come to pass by chance; occur without apparent reason or design. 3. to have the fortune or lot (to do or be as specified); chance: I happened to see him on the street. 4. to befall, as to a person or thing: Don't worry; nothing happened to her.

While “happened” is the correct spelling, “happend” is an incorrect form and should not be used. “Happend” does not appear in any standard English dictionary, nor does it follow English grammar or spelling rules.
