Action Verbs: Put, Take, and Fall (Back, Up and Down)
Back / Up / Down
We often use the action verbs put and take with the adverbs, back, up, or down. Back means to return or go to the starting location. Up and down are giving directional information.
It is not necessary to use both back, and up or down.
When we use these adverbs, we use them before the preposition and location. Back is always before up or down:
Here, can you put this back up for me?
You can't take that. Put it back down!
Don't put that back. I'm going to buy it.
Where should I put the painting up?
I took the picture down.
I don't want this. Could you take it back?
No, I don't like the painting there. Do you mind taking it back down?
Where is the calendar? I put it back up onto the wall.
Do you mind putting the milk back into the refrigerator?
I'm going to put this money back into my account.
Let's take the clock down off of the wall.
Action Verb: Fall
Intransitive Verb
Fall is an intransitive verb. This means the verb does not take an object. This is because it is an object's action, not a person's action to an object.
Although common, it is not necessary to use prepositions with the verb, fall.
Examples:
The computer is off of the table. It fell off of the table. (Not: I fell it off of the table.)
The sketchbook is out of my bag. It fell out of my bag. (Not: I fell it out of my bag.)
The photo is on the floor. It fell. (Not: I fell it.)
Adverbs: Back and Down
It is also possible to use the action verb, fall with the adverbs back and down. If you use adverbs, remember to use them before a preposition and location:
Examples:
Did you take the painting down, or did it fall down off of the wall??
I think there is a ghost in this house. This clock is always falling back down onto the floor.
Are you looking for your keys? Maybe they fell down out of your bag!
He is terrible at ice skating. He always falls down, stands up, and falls back down.
