If so, here, what is the grammatical function of 'in' and 'before'? "Front" in "in front of" is a noun originally meaning "face". So it says "in the face of". This "front" originated in Latin "frontem" though it came to English via Norman French. "Before" was originally "by+foran". This "foran" was a Teutonic word the same in the meaning as  "front". So if you said "in before", you would say like "in by front". "In" itself seems to have been a word universally spoken among ancient European languages to indicate a place". "By" is thought to have been a shortened form of an old Teutonic word equivalent to "about". paco    paco2004 Joined on Wed, Nov 17 2004 Senior Member (4,095) In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.
