!Common mistakes 3
✗ Please come to here.
✓ Please come here.
Here is an adverb of place, so no preposition is needed after come.
'Here' स्थान-वाचक adverb है, इसलिए 'come' के बाद preposition नहीं लगता।
✗ Here comes he.
✓ Here he comes.
After Here at the start, a pronoun subject goes before the verb.
वाक्य के आरंभ में Here के बाद pronoun कर्ता क्रिया से पहले आता है।
✗ Here is your books.
✓ Here are your books.
The verb agrees with the plural noun books, not with here.
क्रिया plural noun 'books' के अनुसार होती है, 'here' के अनुसार नहीं।
?Which word?
Homophone: here and hear are both /hɪə/.
Homophone: here और hear दोनों /hɪə/ हैं।
§Grammar and usage
Inversion after here with nouns ('Here comes the bus'; 'Here is the book'), but not with pronouns ('Here it is', 'Here she comes'); no preposition before here ('Come here', not 'come to here').
यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: nouns के साथ here के बाद inversion ('Here comes the bus'; 'Here is the book'), पर pronouns के साथ नहीं ('Here it is', 'Here she comes'); here से पहले कोई preposition नहीं ('Come here', 'come to here' नहीं)।
Keep the old adverbs: hither (to here), hence (from here), thither (to there), thence (from there), whither (to where), whence (from where).
पुराने adverbs याद रखिए: hither (यहाँ को), hence (यहाँ से), thither (वहाँ को), thence (वहाँ से), whither (कहाँ को), whence (कहाँ से)।
