详解：

occur、happen和take place三者都表示“发生”，都是不及物动词。
occur:指“发生”时可与 happen 换用，但后接to sb．／sth．时，两者含义不同：；occur to sb．／sth．指“某种思想等呈现于某人的知觉中”。
Didn’t it occur to you to phone them about it?
你难道就没想过给他们打个电话？
happen:指“偶然发生”时，主语为“事”；当主语是“人”时，意为“碰巧”。happen to sb．／sth．指不好的事情发生在某人（物）身上。
He happened to know the place. 他碰巧知道那个地方。
What happened to you? (一般不说：What did you happen?)
Maybe something unexpected happened.
I happened to see him on my way home.
= It happened that I saw him on my way home.
take place:表示“发生”，可与 happen 或occur换用，但其后面一般不接 to sb．／sth．结构；一般指非偶然性事件的“发生”，即这种事件的发生一定有某种原因或事先的安排，多用 take place；此外take place 还可表示“举行某种活动”。
例如：
In 1919, the May 4th Movement took place in China.
一九一九年，中国发生了五四运动。
