Someone brought up why it's in present tense 'happen' in "I had something good happen today."
According to what I've learned, it's an infinitive and becomes to mean 'I' caused it to happen.
I see on the net people are saying more "I had something good happen" than "... happened."
I wonder why.
'happen' is intransitive verb, so I believe the past participle 'happened' can be used after a noun as an adjective to mean the perfect aspect.
