Is he back? Or has he back?

Is he back? Or has he back?

Verb usage at times is diversify and confusing at times.

Earlier today, my superior at my working place asked me this: "Has he back?" Two days earlier he asked the same question but different a bit, he said, "Is he back?"

Please, expatiate on those two sentences.



Top Answer/Comment:

"Has he back" doesn't have a clear meaning to me. If someone said it to me I would say "What?" and ask for clarification.

"Is he back" is easier, and is perfectly idiomatic. It just means "Is he back [in this place, after having been somewhere else]." If that's what your superior meant, then that's a better way to say it.

You can use "has" if you also use other words, like "Has he come back"; this is just using present perfect tense.
