	nona the brit  +  339894 Fri, 16 Mar 07 10:28 AM  Was he giving something to another person? It was probably 'here you are, sir' - 'here you are' is a standard phrase that often gets slurred into a single 'herey'are' sound,  which would sound like 'He are' to a non-native speaker. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.

	Koto  +  339901 Fri, 16 Mar 07 10:46 AM Thanks,nana the brit No, he wasn't giving anything. There were 4 men in a room and 3 of them were talking. Here are lines from the scene A:Who are you? B:Mauser,sir C: Shut up and sit down Mauser. He didn't ask for your biography. B:He are,sir Koto

	milky  +  339910 Fri, 16 Mar 07 11:00 AM You must have misheard, Koto. Here is the actual dialogue: Chief Hurst: It's official, Captain Lassard. This is now the worst precinct in the entire city! Burglary up 25%, armed robbery up 30%, vandalism up 44%. Lt. Mauser: Actually, Chief, if you'd look, burglary is actually up 48%. Chief Hurst: Thank you. Who are you? Lt. Mauser: Mauser, sir. M as in man A-U, S as in Sam. Capt. Peter 'Pete' Lassard: Oh, shut up and sit down, Mauser. He asked for your name, not your biography. Lt. Mauser: E-R, sir. http://imdb.com/title/tt0089822/quotes milky Joined on Thu, Jan 15 2004 Senior Member 3,149 Hume said that if we had perfect or complete descriptive knowledge of reality, we could not, by reasoning, derive a single valid "ought".

	Koto  +  339913 Fri, 16 Mar 07 11:16 AM I've listened to the line over and over but still, it sounds like "He are" maybe becasue his "R"sound was strong. Koto

	Fleder_m@u_S  +  339915 Fri, 16 Mar 07 11:47 AM Actually, I've found "he are" in some documents on internet,e.g. " Now he are one." Is it difinitely wrong? Isn't there any exception?

	nona the brit  +  339918 Fri, 16 Mar 07 12:03 PM It's definitely wrong. Sometimes writers may do something 'wrong' for effect. I googled up a newspaper column on blogging that was titled 'Now he are one' but they were doing it to create an effect, they know it is not correct grammar. This headline was a joke. Other examples showing up are not examples of 'he are' but rather cases when he and are just happen to be next to each other. He is also the symbol for Helium and a maths symbol, so a lot of the results show things like 'O and He are gases'. nona the brit Grammar, Jokes
