Model Associations and Inserting through Associations

MVC Beginner here - I have created a database with a USER table which hasMany EVENTS, and conversely have set the EVENTS belongsTo USER

Here's my question: When I want to add an event from a user page (users/view), how do I automatically associate that event(event/add) with the user in the database? I know that it makes the foreign key connection with a user_id field in the events table, but I don't know how to get to the event/add page and carry/apply the user id to the form helper. Am I making any sense here?

Thanks in advance.
