Don\u2019t FALL BEHIND on your English skills! Even on vacation, you can learn.
\nBecause, even on vacation, I can teach.<\/p>\n

Here I am, on vacation last week, during my favorite season\u2026.fall! And of course, I love making (spontaneous) lessons to help you, based on what I see and hear in my daily life. I can make a lesson out of just about anything! Even when I\u2019m standing in the woods.<\/p>\n

I want to keep your vocabulary from falling apart, so here\u2019s a little vocabulary and grammar lesson for you! (See what I did there?)<\/p>\n

I want to share 5 phrasal verbs using \u2018fall\u2019 as the base.
\nWhat is a phrasal verb?
\nWell, my darling, that is when a verb (like \u2018to fall\u2019) and a preposition (like \u2018at\u2019, \u2018away\u2019, back\u2019, etc) get together and they make a new verb. Sexy, right? These are used by native speakers all the time.<\/p>\n

Here we go!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To fall back on something<\/strong> \u2013 have the option to use something if other plans are not successful. \u2018I am taking a photography class at night so I have something to fall back on if my pole dancing career doesn\u2019t take off.\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. To fall behind<\/strong> \u2013 to not make enough progress. \u2018Make sure you do your homework, I wouldn\u2019t want you to fall behind this year!\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. To fall apart<\/strong> \u2013 to become emotionally upset or to break into smaller pieces. \u2018When the antique picture frame fell apart and I saw all the bits of glass on the floor, I fell apart because my uncle gave that to me before he died.\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. To fall out<\/strong> \u2013 to have an argument with someone. \u2018I haven\u2019t seen her in a year \u2013 we fell out over who could keep the lava lamp in the breakup.\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. To fall for<\/strong> \u2013 to fall in love with someone, or to believe a shady story or bad joke. \u2018I can\u2019t believe you fell for that guy who told you that he was really a Nigerian prince. You really fell for that ridiculous story?\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Which one will you use today?<\/p>\n

            I hope this adds more color to your English!<\/p>\n

            Liefs,
            \nBuffi<\/p>\n

            <\/p>\n

            PS: People ask me all the time they should use \u2018fall\u2019 or \u2018autumn’. \u2018Autumn\u2019 is actually the \u2018official\u2019 name of the season and used more in the UK than in the US. I don\u2019t care which one you prefer, just remember that \u2018autumn\u2019 has a silent N at the end and sounds like \u2018AW-tum\u2019. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
