Thank you very much Grammar Greek.

Can I also say, "If we drop something, we duck ourselves to pick it up"?

I would not say it that way. You duck to avoid something, or to hide.

You just bend down to pick it up.

Thanks a lot Grammar Greek.

If I wanted to pick something up from under the cot, would I bend down or duck?

Actually I cannot simply pick it up by bending down, I may need to first bend down and then duck my head because otherwise I will be struck by cot.

Please help me with this.

Are you actually crawling under the cot?

I bent down to pick up the paper I'd just dropped. Wouldn't you know? It had caught an air current and fallen in such as a way that it was smack dab under the cot. I got down on my knees, and had to duck my head so I could practically crawl under the darn thing to retrieve it. Finally, I got the tips of my fingers on it and flicked it toward me
