Prepositional object?

No prepositional object, because the verb “fall” has no fixed preposition. This is a adverbial determination of the placeand the question is “Where to go falls the apple?” Examples:

• The apple is not far from the trunk.
• The apple falls on the ground.
• The apple falls into the gutter.
• The apple falls under the garden table.

The following examples are: Prepositional objects:

1. die at + DatWhat did he die of? died died last night on his aneurysm.
2. get angry about + AkkWhat are you annoying about? I am angry Continuous on our government.
3. waiting for + AkkWhat is he waiting for? waits at the stop on bus 17.

In sentence 3, “on bus 17” is Preposition object and “at the stop” adverbial determination of the place.
