Grammar

a row

Hi,

If I have twenty five chairs arranged like a square (5 by 5 dimension??), how would call upon someone who is sitting in the center of chairs? I think the term 'row' or 'rows' can be used to be roughly the samething as 'vertical row(s)' or 'horizontal row(s)". Can you also tell me how you would call upon people sitting left and right of him? Thank you.

A person sitting in the third chair from the left, from the third (horizontal) row from the front, please stand up. ??

I think you've pretty much solved it. The person sitting in the third chair from the left, in the third (horizontal) row from the front, please stand up.

You could also just say: "Would/will the person sitting in the third row, third from left, please stand up?

If the person is wearing a distinctive piece of clothing, I might say something like: 'the lady in the red dress' or 'the gentleman in the green sweater' (we should be tactful with special physical features, though!).
