What harmed you? <--correct? why?

What happened to you? <--correct- because whatever it was, it was in the past

What happen to you? <--incorrect. In the present it would be 'happens' and it would need more context because it would be a repeated action- 'What happens to you when you get home late?'

What killed you? <--correct? why? Correct, but why are you asking a dead person a question? They can't reply.

What kill you? <--correct? why? Incorrect

What harmed you? <--correct? why?
What harm you? <--correct? why? Incorrect

These examples are basically the same- the past makes sense in all of them. The present would require more context and would always have an 's' on the end.

What brings you here? <--correct? why?
What bought you here? <--correct? why?
Both are cporrect- it depends on the timing of the question. I'd use the present when the person is just arriving and the past later on.

What brings you here? <--so this is incorrect? what do you mean by more context and always require a "s" in the end?

What happens to you now?
What kills you? (i.e. fills you with strong emotion)
What harms you?
What brings you here?

Note, all the verbs end in -s.

Verbs ending in -s agree in number with 3rd person subjects. Our subject 'What' refers to a 3rd person pronoun (it):

I get fired is what happens to me now.
It is what happens to me now. It = What
What happens to you now?

It kills you; It harms you; It brings you.

All the best,

"It got changed." <--correct? why? what does this mean? how do i use this?
"It gets changed." <--correct? why? what does this mean? how do i use this?

"It got change." <--incorrect? why
"It gets change." <--incorrect? why

[Casiopea]

"It got changed." :D Someone changed it.
"It gets changed." :D Someone changes it routinely.
"It got change." :( 'change' functions as a participle. It needs -ed)
"It gets change." :( Same as above.

"I remember that I bought this car 5 years ago ." <---incorrect?
"I remembered that I bought this car 5 years ago ." <---this is correct right?

Both are correct.

[Casiopea]

I agree.

1. I remember (now) that I bought this car 5 years ago. :D
2. I just then remembered that I (had) bought this car 5 years ago. :D

(had) is optional.

[Francois]

I just then remembered that I (had) bought this car 5 years ago

Can you use the past perfect here?
