In front of
I'm studying prepositions and I believe there's only one way to really learn them: through a hard practice. So, I've made another set of sentences and completed it with the prepositions in boldface. Could you please, check them?
1- The cupboard was in front of the table in the kitchen.
2- The steamboats transport coal from east to west.
3- What can you tell me about your first snowfall?
4- Jean has recently visited a hotel only made of ice.
5- She will work for the personnel department as a secretary.
6- Smoking was prohibited at some local restaurants.
7- We should look for a brick of better quality in order to build our new house.
8. I might plan on traveling to Sweden with some friends this year.
9. He should put in applications at many different places.
10. You shouldn’t shout at me . It’s very rude.
Thanks again for your help,
Emma

Thank you, Mister!
I changed cupboard by refrigerator: "The refrigerator was in front of the table in the kitchen" . I suppose it's not odd now, isn't it?
In sentence nº4 : "Jean has recently visited a hotel made only of ice" , why is it not correct to say:"...a hotel only made of ice" ?
And in sentence nº 8 why can't I say: "I

I changed cupboard by refrigerator: "The refrigerator was in front of the table in the kitchen" . I suppose it's not odd now, isn't it?-- No, it is still odd. A normal kitchen has the cupboards, refrigerator, sink and range against the walls, and the table in front of them, somewhere near the middle of the room.

Hi Mister!
Sorry, but I had to laugh! Now it must be right: - The table was in front of the sink in the kitchen .

For sure! It's funny because in my country there is nothing odd in saying that "the cupboard is in front of the table" or vice-versa. It all depends how much area/space there is in the kitchen.
