Have a nice fall, see you next trip~!

"Have a nice fall, see you next trip" is something bullies say when they stick out their legs and you hit it and then fall down. Today, we will be talking about a few verbs describing tripping and falling.

to stumble = this is when you miss your step and fall or ALMOST fall down, I think it gives the image of starting to fall but catching yourself before hitting the grown.

A: Did you see the figure skating yesterday?
B: Yeah, the guy finished his spin and stumbled~!

to trip = this is when you are walking and you catch your foot on something which makes you fall or almost fall down. The key thing when using this word is that you hit your foot on something...

A: Ouch~!
B: What happened?
A: I tripped on your shoes~! Don't leave them lying around.

This verb is also used when you put something in front of someone to MAKE THEM fall down, which is not very nice...

A: Heh heh heh
B: What?
A: I tied a rope to the bottom of the door to trip my brother~! he he
B: That's mean~!

to fall down = this is when you are walking, running or standing and then you go down to the ground.

A: How did you hurt yourself?
B: I fell down.
A: Be careful.

Ok that is it for now, have a good weekend,
