易错句子She had a fall down on the icy path.
正确表达She had a fall on the icy path.
名词 fall 表示“摔倒”时本身已含有向下移动的意思，后面不能再加副词 down（down 只属于动词短语 fall down）。要说明在哪儿摔倒，用 on / in 引导的介词短语即可；要从哪里摔下来则用 a fall from ...，例如 a fall from the ladder。

易错句子There has been a sharp fall of house prices.
正确表达There has been a sharp fall in house prices.
名词 fall 表示“(数量、价格、音高等)下降”时，后面用介词 in 引出下降所涉及的方面：a fall in prices。介词 of 只表示所属或部分关系，不能表达“在某方面下降”，所以 fall of prices 不成立；同理可说 a rise / increase in prices。

易错句子I fell a fall on the ice yesterday.
正确表达I had a fall on the ice yesterday.
英语不能用同源宾语说 fall a fall；汉语“摔了一跤”里的“一跤”不能直译成 a fall 作宾语。表示“摔了一跤”这一事件，用 have a fall（也可直接用动词 fall：I fell on the ice），因此应说 I had a fall on the ice。
