occurs
Comes to pass
Occurs is the third-person singular form of occur—to happen or take place.
Events, phenomena, and changes occur: The accident occurred at midnight.
Something can also occur to someone, meaning it comes to mind: It occurs to me that we never asked.
Occur often appears in formal or scientific contexts where "happen" might sound too casual.
