We can use fall as a noun or a verb. It means ‘suddenly go down onto the ground or towards the ground unintentionally or accidentally’. It can also mean ‘come down from a higher position’. As a verb, it is irregular. Its past form is fell and its -ed form is fallen. Fall does not need an object:
Mrs McGrath had a terrible fall yesterday. She’s in hospital now. (noun)
Four trees fell in the storm. (verb)
Oil prices have fallen recently.
Fall down is a phrasal verb. We use it when something falls to the ground from its normal position:
The picture keeps falling down. (from the wall to the ground)
He slipped and fell down.
