English Synonyms and Antonyms
fall
A thing is said to happen when no design is manifest, or none especially thought of; it is said to chance when it appears to be the result of accident (compare synonyms for ACCIDENT). An incident happens or occurs; something external or actual happens to one; a thought or fancy occurs to him. Befall and betide are transitive; happen is intransitive; something befalls or betides a person or happens to him. Betide is especially used for anticipated evil, thought of as waiting and coming at its appointed time; as, wo betide him! One event supervenes upon another event, one disease upon another, etc. ["Transpire," in the sense of happen, is not authorized by good usage: a thing that has happened is properly said to transpire when it becomes known.]
Synonyms:
bechance, befall, betide, chance, come to pass, fall out, happen, occur, supervene, take placePreposition:
An event happens to a person; a person happens on or upon a fact, discovery, etc.

How to use fall in a sentence?
This is basically a Tokyo issue, abe's prestige probably won't be damaged and support for the LDP won't fall.
My hunch on the Ditka quote is that it comes from a quirk of the King James translation, ancient Hebrew had a particular way of saying things like, 'and the next thing that happened was...' The King James translators of the Old Testament consistently rendered this as 'and it came to pass.' ''When phantom Bible passages turn dangerousPeople may get verses wrong, but they also mangle plenty of well-known biblical stories as well.Two examples: The scripture never says a whale swallowed Jonah, the Old Testament prophet, nor did any New Testament passages say that three wise men visited baby Jesus, scholars say.Those details may seem minor, but scholars say one popular phantom Bible story stands above the rest: The Genesis story about the fall of humanity.Most people know the popular version - Satan in the guise of a serpent tempts Eve to pick the forbidden apple from the Tree of Life. It's been downhill ever since.But the story in the book of Genesis never places Satan in the Garden of Eden.
The State is not some magical organization that can solve these issues alone... It's really important that citizens understand they are responsible for polluting the bay and have a role to play in cleaning it up, these items that are on display didn't just fall into the bay, someone threw them there.
[I’m] just so focused on the opportunity that we have here and the reason why I chose to come here – [I] just want to take full advantage of that and let the chips fall where they may. And God will always handle the rest.
We're kind of in some uncharted territory, socially and economically, it's totally within reason to expect that the next couple of weeks or so for [ Lake Powell ] to fall below the critical level.
