请问before和in front of,in the front of有什么区别

in front of 与before

You can't buy them in the shop before eight o'clock.八点之前你在商店里买不到那些东西。

How many students stand in front of the class? 有多少学生站在同学们面前。

[辨析] before与 in front of都有“在......之前”的意思，当表示“在某种位置前”时，两者可以通用。例如：

She sits before/in front of me in the classroom.在教室里他坐在我的前面。


in the front of是只在前面的部分
They are standing in front of/before the blackboard.他们正站在黑板的前面。

当表示“在某建筑物前面”时，宜用in front of。例如：

The car stopped in front the cinema. 汽车停在电影院的前面。

当表示“在某段时间”，“某一事件”之前时，用before，不用in front of。例如：

Before liberation he lived a poor life.解放前他过着贫穷的生活。

Please come to see me before Sunday.请在星期六以前来看我。
