Here is a question for you: if I say "in front of" it refers to persons that look each other or not? Should I say "opposite"?

Best Answer

The prepositional expression in front of means ‘close to the front of something or someone’. It is the opposite of behind:

A really tall man was sitting in front of me and I couldn’t see the screen properly. or I was sitting behind a really tall man and I couldn’t see the screen properly.
