The little boy FALL OFF a tree.

The leaves FALL OFF trees in autumn.

Ok, here's a tip. DOWN in this context means "to go down" the object moves from an upper position to a lower position. That's the reason I didn't use DOWN to complete the sentences. You're applying the examples to things that fall from other objects, in this case; the tree.

OFF for some unknown reason

'Fell off' is more common than 'fell down from', because 'fell' already includes the idea of 'down'.
