in front of是一个同学们比较熟悉的有用搭配，它的特点是：第一个词是介词in，最后一个词是介词of，中间的名词前没有任何修饰语（既没有冠词也没有物主代词），整个短语相当于一个介词（语法上称之为“复合介词”）。
一、in front of的用法
in front of 的意思是“在……前面”“在……面前”。如：
A truck was parked right in front of my car. 一辆卡车正好停在我的汽车面前。
You shouldn’t use such bad language in front of the children. 在孩子们面前，你不应该说这种粗话。
注意in front of与in the front of意思不同：前者指范围之外的“在……前面”，后者指范围之内的“在……的前部”。比如：
The car stopped in front of the post office. 车在邮局前面停了下来。
The driver sits in the front of the bus. 公共汽车上的司机都是坐在车前的。
