Typical but difficult to understand when first encountered

Question

Good morning to all my teachers and friends on the forum,

In movies, I usually hear these sentences, but the sad thing is that I don't understand their meanings. I do try to interpret but fail.
Here are the sentence; would you please tell me what they mean?

a) So, there you go
b) There goes the last bell
c) Here he comes!
d) There he goes!
e) Look who's here!
f) go for it.

Also, I have noticed that there is often/ usually a note of exclamation (!) at the end of these sentences. Do they denote an excitement or a surprise?

Thanks teachers
