This is a very broad question, and there is no clear answer. Generally, the verb expresses some action (ran, is crossing, have come) or condition (remained, feels). A noun is the name of something (ball, suitcase, Mr Jones) or a concept (beauty, anger). And an adjective describes a noun in some way (a round ball, a heavy suitcase, the first Mr Jones).

Hi dear teacher, so why can't use 'occurred' in this sentence? Thank you in advance..

[Mister Micawber]

'What occurred to you?' means 'What did you think of?' but that does not fit the conversation. The man wants to know the lady's next experience when he asks 'What happened to you?'
