- [0](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/69-places-in-a-line/0/) — In a line, first, second, third… tell the place counted from one end.
- [1](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/69-places-in-a-line/1/) — If you are 4th from the front and 6th from the back, count yourself only once: 4 + 6 - 1 = 9 people stand in the line.
- [2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/69-places-in-a-line/2/) — Without the -1 you would count yourself twice, once from each end.
