we learned the first one last year. you dont say when, or where. say
"a revolution occurs when"
or
"a revolution happens when"

Change it to:
During a revolution, a government changes hands as a result of a violent uprising.
and
Often, he forgets his office key at home.
Twas just a matter of commas and clauses.
