文法句型

placed after a noun or at the start of a clause

用法筆記

Restricted to formal and legal writing. Never used in everyday conversation — substitute 'in this' or 'in here'. The word stands alone; it does not take a following noun phrase (❌ 'herein the contract' → ✅ 'in this contract').

常見錯誤

❌The rules are listed herein the handbook.
✅The rules are listed herein.
💡'herein' already means 'in this', so adding a noun after it is redundant.
