Rien n'arrive
Why is rien n'arrive considered incorrect for ' nothing happened' while the lesson gives the same phrase as an example
This question relates to:French lesson "Personne ne ..., rien ne ... = No one, nothing (negation) in French"

Bonjour Meghna !
"Rien n'arrive" is in the present tense, so would be "Nothing happens/is happening", but not the past tense "Nothing happened" :)
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
