Example

④ They stood in line.

As to a similar phrase,there is『in a circle』.Not only when expressing a circle or line,but formation,we adopt 『in』for them.Why?As for『in』,except for being inside,is there a difficult theory?😚

No,there isn't at all. The book,ネイティブ・スピーカーの前置詞 ,expresses it with a illustration,using the example ④ like next.😃

There are eight faces of boys,and seven of them are lined up.One of them isn't,and it says it's out of line.Seven faces are in a rectangle, and both the rectangle and the seven faces are gray as if they were surrounded three dimensionally,though it's just the illustration,so it's just flat.💦

As you know, I'm not good at explaining something to others,therefore my expressions may be hard to understand, so please read the book,ネイティブ・スピーカの前置詞, though you don't always have to buy it.Without purchasing it,you only have to read it at a bookstore.Oh I'm afraid I've gotton off the subject.😩
