Falling can be an adjective. Examples are the phrases "falling star" or "falling leaves."

The only time "falling" can be an adjective is when it is used as a present participle.

Example: "The falling ball hit the ground quickly."

In the example above, "falling" is a present participle that is describing the word "ball." Participles can be three parts of speech, and an adjective is one of them. In this case, "falling" is showing the motion of the ball.

In the example "He is falling," "falling" is a verb.

So, the word "falling" can have different parts of speech depending on its use in the sentence.
