Question

Choose the sentence that is grammatically correct.

• A. Where’s Hari? Here is he, right in front of us!
• B. Where’s Hari? Here he is, right in front of us!
• C. Wheres’ Hari? He is here, right in front of us!
• D. Where’s Hari? Is he here, right in front of us!

Hint:

When identifying natural-sounding English sentences, check for correct contraction placement, subject–verb agreement, and common idiomatic word orders such as “Here he is” or “There they are.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine the correct answer, let us examine each option in detail:

(A) “Here is he” is not the standard or natural word order in English. In spoken and written English, the conventional and idiomatic order is “Here he is.” The placement of the subject (“he”) after “is” sounds awkward and is generally avoided in modern English except in poetic or literary contexts.

(B) This is correct because it uses proper contraction in “Where’s” (short for “Where is”) and follows the natural order “Here he is,” where “he” is the subject and “is” is the verb. This sentence is both grammatically correct and sounds natural to native speakers.

(C) “Wheres’” is incorrect. The apostrophe placement is wrong — “Where’s” (apostrophe before s) is the correct contraction for “Where is.” The placement after the “s” is a grammatical error. Although the second part “He is here” is correct, the contraction error in the first part makes the whole sentence wrong.

(D) Grammatically, “Is he here, right in front of us!” uses an interrogative structure followed by an exclamation mark. This combination is unusual and incorrect for a statement intended to confirm presence. The punctuation also does not match the intended meaning. Moreover, it does not replicate the natural “Here he is” phrasing that the question requires. Therefore, option (B) is correct because it follows correct contraction usage, subject–verb order, and natural spoken English style.
