When an adverbial expression of place or direction comes at the beginning of a clause, intransitive verbs are often put before their subject. This is called inversion with verb before subject. This happens especially when a new definite subject is being introduced. The structure is most common in literary and descriptive writing.
- from Practical English Usage
Here are your keys. (not Here your keys are.)
Look- there’s the bus.
Inversion is normal in here/there is /are ...
5. Here she comes. (not Here comes she.)
6. Off we go!
If the subject is a pronoun, it goes before the verb.
1. Directly in front of the schoolgate __________________
2. Along the path _______________________________
3. On the playground ____________________________
4. Under a tree ________________________________
