were you here vs were you there

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Were you here?' is used when referring to the current location of the speaker and the listener, while 'Were you there?' is used when referring to a different location from where the speaker is currently. The choice between 'here' and 'there' depends on the relative positions of the speaker and the listener.
