Fell over/mark #2 (permalink) Wed Feb 01, 2006 21:36 pm   Fell over/mark
 

Hi zainab,

The man fell over half way through means the man fell on to the floor in the middle of his performance. Mark as a noun is a point - in other words 1 out of a total 5 would be low and 5 out of 5 would be the highest point/mark. Mark is also a verb and the words The dancers were marked down means they got low marks/points.
