Here
Like “there,” “here” answers the question, “Where?”
Avoid “this here” except in informal dialogue.
Hear
How do we hear? With our ear, of course.
Examples:
- I can hear the horses now. They’re here in the barn.
- (“hear” = what you do with your ear)
- (“here” = where, in this place)
- I didn’t hear them at first, before they came in here.
- (“hear” = what you do with your ear
- (“here” = where)
- “This
herehorse kicked me hard. I can still feel and hear the thud of his hoof.”- (“This here” acceptable in informal dialogue. This will say something about your character’s education.)
- (“hear” = what you do with your ear)
