The idea didn't occur to me until later
Did it ever occur to you that he might be lying?
A thought occurred to her while she was walking in the park
It occurred to him that he had forgotten his keys
It suddenly occurred to me that this was the same restaurant
Nothing of the sort occurred to her when she first met him
Did it occur to you to check the instructions first?
The possibility of failure didn't occur to them
An excellent solution occurred to the team leader
It never occurred to me to ask for his help directly
Did it occur to you that we are lost?
No, that did not occur to me at all.
We should ask for directions soon.
An idea finally occurred to me
I finally thought of an idea
An idea came to me at last
