(por Here is...«) y »There's... (por There is...) son increíblemente comunes.Here's your coffee!
o There's the bus!" fluyen mucho más naturalmente que las formas sin contraer.Smart Tips
Switch to 'Here comes the bus!' to sound more like a native speaker and show excitement.
Remember the 'Pronoun Pivot': the pronoun must jump in front of the verb.
Use 'There goes...' to express frustration or a lost opportunity.
Check the plural! Make sure you drop the 's' from 'comes'.
Pronunciación
Stress on the Noun
In 'Here comes the BUS', the main stress is on the noun at the end to emphasize what is arriving.
Stress on the Adverb
In 'HERE it comes', the stress often shifts to 'Here' because the pronoun 'it' is weak.
Falling Intonation
Here comes the rain. ↘
A statement of observation.
Rising-Falling
There goes my hero! ↗↘
Excitement or dramatic flair.
Memorízalo
Mnemotecnia
Nouns move to the back, Pronouns stay in the middle.
Asociación visual
Imagine a red carpet. 'Here' is the entrance. If a famous person (Noun) arrives, the paparazzi (Verb) jumps in front of them to take a photo. If it's just a regular person (Pronoun), the paparazzi stays behind.
Rhyme
When the bus is a noun, the verb comes down. When the bus is an 'it', the verb must sit (at the end).
Story
You are standing at a train station. You see the light. You shout 'Here comes the train!' Your friend asks 'Where is it?' You point and say 'Here it comes!' The train leaves and you sigh, 'There goes our ride.'
Word Web
Desafío
Go to a window or a busy street. Every time you see a vehicle or person, say 'Here comes a...' or 'There goes a...' out loud. If you use a pronoun, say 'Here it comes!'
Notas culturales
Commonly used when queuing for buses or trains. It's a polite way to alert others in the queue that the transport is arriving.
Commentators use this constantly to build hype during a play. It's part of the 'voice' of American baseball and football.
The phrase 'Here comes the bride' is the standard announcement for the start of a wedding ceremony in most English-speaking cultures.
This is a remnant of Old English word order, which was much more flexible and often placed verbs earlier in the sentence.

Preguntas frecuentes (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.`
