In front of is a preposition that links two things. If a postbox is in front of
a shop, then it stands close to the shop, and, more specifically, close
to the side of the shop that opens onto the street, where the main
entrance is.
Opposite is also a preposition that links two things, but it
implies that there is some kind of line dividing the two, usually a
road, a river or something similar. The two things occupy a similar
position on each side of this dividing line.So, if a postbox is opposite a shop, we can understand that it is on the other side of the street.
He lies on the couch in front of the TV set to watch TV.
