Incorrect spelling

happend

Incorrect spelling, explanation: when you want to form the past form of a regular verb in English, you simply add the -ed ending to it as e.g. in case of happened. However, because of the pronunciation, many English users think that there is no -e letter in this suffix and they spell happened as happend, which is wrong.


Correct spelling

happened
