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).
