～の前

About

The noun 前まえ can be used locationally to say that something is "in front" of a given location.

Since 前まえ is a noun, we can use the の particle to attach it to another noun indicating location.

E.g. パソコンの前まえにリンゴがあります。
"There is an apple in front of the computer."

～の前まえ can be followed by the に particle as above, or the の particle, which creates a nominalized "noun phrase". Other particles, such as で or は are also possible depending on the sentence.

E.g. パソコンの前まえのリンゴがおいしい。
"The apple in front of the computer is delicious."

See the ～前まえに grammar point for 前まえ's temporal usage.
