FAQ (8)
Yes, but it's more literary. You can use verbs of position like `sit`, `stand`, or `lie`. For example: `There stood the giant.`
In English, unstressed pronouns like `it`, `he`, or `she` want to stay close to the start of the sentence. Inverting them sounds very unnatural to native speakers.
No, it's actually quite informal and conversational. In a formal report, you would say `The bus arrived` rather than `Here comes the bus`.
`Here is` focuses on the location (it's here now). `Here comes` focuses on the movement and arrival (it's approaching).
Yes, but usually only in storytelling. `Then, here came the rain.` However, in daily life, we almost always use the present.
No, do not use a comma. It is one continuous phrase: `Here comes the bus.`
Yes, metaphorically. `Here comes the weekend!` or `There goes my patience.`
Use `come` (no 's') for plural: `Here come the children.` Use `comes` for singular: `Here comes the child.`
