Isaiah's fallen day-star is read as a picture of a proud king brought low. In the primary lessons: In stories it tells the reader something already dropped or happened before now. In science, «the temperature has fallen» means it went down; in maths and graphs «prices have fallen» means the number got smaller. In safety: a fallen power line or fallen tree is dangerous.

### note

Do not mix fell and fallen: «It fell» (past simple) but «It has fallen» (needs has/have/had). «Fallen» is never used alone as the past: not «It fallen». Do not confuse with «felled», which means cut down (a tree). In maths, «fallen by 5» means decreased by 5.
