Hi! teachers
Can you check if the sentence below is correct or not?
Ex) The apple rolled down the hill and fell down the cliff.
I know it would be better to put 'off' instead of 'down' in 'fell down the cliff'. I made the sentence in order to explain two concepts of the preposition 'down': the first one is based on non-vertical axis, while the second one is close to vertical axis.
To native speakers, does the sentence sound awkward? or Is it gramatically correct even though it isn't commonly used?
Thank you very much in advance
