Here or In Here
Directions: Decide whether here or in here is more appropriate. Circle the correct answer. (Both here and in here are correct for two answers).
Jim: |
Can you come (here/in here) for a minute? |
Pam: |
Yes. What’s going on? |
Jim: |
(Here/In here) is the problem. The printer in the office isn’t working. |
Pam: |
What happened to the guy who fixes the office equipment? |
Jim: |
I think his office moved to another city. He hasn’t been (here/in here) since September. |
Pam: |
Did you call the manufacturing company to send someone (here/in here) to look at it? |
Jim: |
Yes, but they can’t get (here/in here) until after 5:00. |
Pam: |
OK. Tell me where it is. |
Jim: |
The printer (here/in here) is OK, but the one in the other office doesn’t seem to work. |
Pam: |
Did you check the paper feeder? |
Jim: |
Yes. I looked in there, but the paper seems fine. |
Pam: |
OK. Did you open the lid? |
Jim: |
Yes. I tried to open it. |
Pam: |
Oh! Look! (here/in here) is a paper clip stuck inside the auto feeder. When you put paper (here/in here), you have to remove all of the staples and paperclips. |
Jim: |
OK, let me try to print something. It’s still not working. |
Pam: |
I think I know what the problem is. You don’t have the USB cord plugged in. You plug it (here/in here). There you go! Now it works. |
Jim: |
What if it gets stuck again? |
Pam: |
Well, I don’t have any meetings all day, so if you need more help, I’ll be (here/in here). |
