Hi,

When is used only 'here' and when with a preposition - 'in here'. Does 'in here' means inside of something?

Also with 'there' and 'in there'.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it does:

Here is a box = A box is in front of you

The box is in here = There is a box within something.

There is a box = A box is a little distance from you

Do not put the box in there = Don't put the box into that [cupboard/room/drawer]

Thanks Feebs. Then it's as I thought.

Sorry for a huge typo. I wrote it in a hurry. It should be Does it mean...
