the verb to fall
|
|
Good morning everybody!
Sometimes when I have to use the verb "fall" I �m not quite sure about the use of fall off, fall over and fall down. Can anyone explain the differnce with examples? Thanks in advance |

The chair was broken so he fell off it. (fall off an object)
Someone put that box in front of me, and since I couldn �t see from the huge package, I fell over it. (fall over an obstacle)
I got dizzy and just fell down on the floor. (collapse, slip)
Hope it helps. I �m sure even more people will join in. |
