How to describe the position of a word in a sentence.

Hi

Could you please tell me how to describe a position of any word in a sentence? For example:

I will see you tomorrow.

Can I say: 'you' is in front of 'see' or "ahead of"

and: 'see' is behind or at the back of 'you'?



Many thanks,



Tom
