Question about English (US)
When I wanted to ask something to be unclear, I usually used 'by any chance,~', but I heared that I can use 'happen to' such as 'did you happen to about that before', Is that right? because when I practice to speak in english, I haven't heared this kinds of sentences '~ happen to~'

@Lee1234567 Yes, this is correct! I myself use “happen to” fairly often in situations like these:
“Did you happen to clean the kitchen?”
“Did you happen to get milk at the store?”
“I lost my phone earlier. Did you happen to see it anywhere?”
