Hi,
1. He is here.
2. Who is she?
The word here in the 1st sentence is an adjective. Can someone explain me how it is an adjective. I believe it's considered an adverb rather than an adjective. As a general rule, I think the parts of speech you are not sure about are usually adverbs!

Well... Goodman, in the beginning i also thought that here in 1st sentence is an adverb but the following page confused me. Visit this page and Search "Who is Here" in your search box and you'll know what the author has said.

It is definitely a local adverb here.
However, it can be a noun too:
«What is the distance between here and the tower?»

Instead of classifying everything we're not sure of as an adverb, we could try to find out what grammatical category the word belongs to.
He is here.
*He is quickly.
I'm not sure what it is but I don't think it's
