does it make sense when we say - I don't have disposition to play? = I don't feel like playing.

Disposition is usually referred to as a persons usual attitude to life as Daniela has already stated.

He / She is usually of a , cheerful / miserable / romantic / disposition.

Hope this clears it up a little more.

does it make sense when we say - = " I don't feel like playing." That is exactly the way that you would say it.

Does it actually mean that being romantic is not in his nature,that's to say,it's not in his nature to be romantic?

'Ah, here comes the spring!'

why not: 'Ah, the spring comes here!' or both are acceptable?

also can we say: '....' - Mark said/answered/asked and: '...' - said/answered/asked Mark?

many thanks

'Here comes ...' is a set phrase used to draw attention to someone or something that has just arrived.
'The Spring comes here' is not correct.

Yes, the position of 'said' or equivalent can be before or after the direct speech.

why does it incorrect: 'Ah, the spring comes here! - because I think it is grammatically correct (spring comes, not come)?

many thanks
