nothing was happened. vs nothing was happen.

The phrase that should be used is 'nothing was happening.' The verb 'happen' isn't used in the past tense with 'was.' Instead, the correct form is 'happening.'

This phrase is incorrect. 'Happened' is not the correct past participle form of 'happen' in this context.

"nothing was happened."

The correct form is 'nothing was happening.' Use 'happening' as the past participle form of 'happen' when describing an event or situation that occurred in the past.
