Discover LudwigThe phrase "be fallen" is not grammatically correct and would not typically be used in written English
It is possible that it could be used in poetic or archaic language, but it would not be considered standard or formal usage. An example of using "be fallen" in a sentence could be: "His enemies would not be able to rest easy, for they knew that their downfall would be fallen upon them soon enough." This is an example of a somewhat archaic or dramatic use of the phrase, as it is used for emphasis and to create a certain tone or mood. However, in most cases, it would be more appropriate to simply say "fallen upon them" or "fallen upon them soon."
