use of "here goes" in a sentence

Question

Can we write "Here goes our findings from the factory visit" ? Or, "Here goes all the files we had"? Are these sentences correct? I'm confused because 'findings' and 'files' are plural, and we are using 'goes' after 'here'. Please advise.

Answer 1

Here goes! is a phrase used in particular circumstances - when you are about to do something new or daring. It is not appropriate to use it in an ordinary sentence; that would be Here are our findings (or the alternatives that Griffin suggests).

Answer 2

I agree, this doesn't sound quite right. I would not use the word "go/goes" in this context. Instead, I would say one of these:

• In our factory visit, we found ...
• Our findings from the factory visit are as follows: ...
• Our findings from the factory visit are below: ...
• Here are our findings from the factory visit: ... (this is my least favorite because the phrase "are our" is hard to pronounce)

For the second example, I would say "here are the files we had" and use the verb "to be" instead of the verb "to go."
