Find the incorrect part of the sentence:
The old man fell down from the stairs.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The incorrect part of the sentence "The old man fell down from the stairs" is "from". The phrase "fell down from" is redundant; the correct preposition is "off" (fell off the stairs) or simply "down" (fell down the stairs), as the verb "fell" already implies downward movement from a position.
Correct Sentences:
The old man fell down the stairs.
The old man fell off the stairs.
