Be careful with verbs like fall. My students often say "I fell down", but really they mean "I fell over" - look at the movement and you'll see why.
Also, be careful of the difference between across (preposition) and cross (verb), and past (preposition) and pass (verb).
I walked across the road.
I crossed the road.
I walked past your house.
I passed your house.
