Q

Telly-chan accidentally fell.

A

テリーちゃんはおちちゃった。
テリーちゃんがおちちゃった。

Using ‘が’ instead of ‘は’ in the sentence changes the focus slightly. ‘が’ emphasizes the subject (Telly-chan) more and often suggests that the fact being stated is new information or contrasts with something previously mentioned.

The base verb is ‘おちる’ (落ちる), which means ‘to fall’.
