A question about 'in here'
0 Well, you know, the English grammar (taught to EFL students) doesn't suggest putting any preposition just in front of the adverb 'here' ('cuz it's neither a noun nor a pronoun). 02 br
02 br
00 But it seems that 'in here' is very common. 02 br
02 br
00 Why is that? Is there any special usage? 02 br
02 br
00 Or native speakers just use it in the same way as one single 'here' and, for fun? 0-

00 You are right - we don't use a preposition when we say things like "Come here!" or "Have you been here before?" 02 br
02 br
00 But we also use "here" as a noun, meaning "this place." ( 05 0 00 - here, 3rd definition) (or "this thing that I have in front of me.") 02 br
