FALL-1

Good morning / afternoon / evening everybody, depending on when you are reading this. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin!

In English there are hundreds of expressions that use the verb to fall. A perfect example, related to Valentine's Day (which we celebrated last week) is the expression to fall in love ("enamorarse" in Spanish).

For the next six lessons, today and all of next week, we will look at different expressions with the verb to fall.

Today's Expression is: To fall for something.

It means: to believe that a trick or a practical joke is true.

Example 1
How could you fall for such an obvious trick?

Example 2
The street beggar told me that he needed 10 cents for a phone call and I gave it to him. When I saw him a week later and he again asked me for 10 cents for a phone call, I realised that the week before I had fallen for his trick to get money from strangers.

For more practice, I encourage you to come up with your own original sentence with this expression. You can post your sentence on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter) and we will give you feedback about your sentence as soon as possible.
