¿Cuál es la diferencia entre in front of y behind?

In front of significa delante o frente a algo, como un coche delante de una casa. Behind significa detrás de algo, como un jardín detrás de una casa. Estas dos palabras describen posiciones opuestas entre sí, así que nunca se pueden intercambiar.

¿Por qué between necesita dos cosas?

Between describe la posición central entre exactamente dos cosas, como un lápiz entre un libro y una regla. Usar between con una sola cosa, como between the book, es un error común porque falta el segundo punto de referencia necesario.

What is the difference between next to and between?

Next to means beside just one thing, such as next to the sofa. Between means in the middle of two things, such as between the sofa and the chair.

Do in front of and next to always need an extra word?

Yes. In front always needs of before the noun, and next always needs to before the noun. Leaving these words out is a very common A1 mistake.
