    Shopping/vocabulary
    Message from xushu19940610 posted on 12-09-2012 at 05:40:06 (D | E | F)
    Hello,

    Could you help me please?
    What does "ensure a good place in line" mean?
    Thank you for your answers.

    Hello

    A "place in line" is your position in a line of people.
    See this picture: Link

    To "ensure" means "to make sure that something happens".
    "Good" means "favorable".
    A "good" position would be toward the front of the line.

    Hello

    'ensure a good place in line' has two different meanings.
    Literally means 'let yourself be good at line or queue'
    but generally it means, 'put on yourself at great and better position in any terms of situations than others'
    I think you could get it
