thanks a lot!!
I have one more question,
S3. I was with him there.
S4. There, I was with him.
Then are both sentences S3 and S4 correct English?
If so, do sentences imply that I and "him" were there?
thanks a lot!!

S4 is technically correct, but not natural. When you put there at the start, it only sounds natural if you describe what you were doing there.
"There, I was with him eating pizza"
^natural
"here, I was with John"
^a bit unnatural
"here, I was with John watching a movie"
^natural
(EDIT: S3 is correct)

@AnalyticalEnglish Yes, the word "with" implies that you were together. "With" always means that you were close to something.
