✔ 最佳答案
before絕對是前置詞(preposition)

in front of通常指位置上的「前面」, 或當著對方面前做某件事, 而before一般人認為只能描述時間性的「前面」

但其實before也可以用作描述位置上的「前面」, 而且往往比in front of更正式.

before是對的。

這是句文idiom.意思是本末倒置。

In my opinion, in this case, [ in front of ] should be used instead of [before]. As far as I am concerned, [ in front of] is used for indicating the position while [ before] is used mostly for indicating the time and the order.

唔好意思, 我是用写字板写字, 超馒, 打字可快幾倍....如果grammer, 最好唔好跟美国人。尤其是黑人英文。

re the first reply: before is a preposition

the answer for your question is before, this is an idiom, words/terms cannot be changed
