Re:i have a question
They all have similar meanings though it depends on the context that they are used in.
In front of: "I am in front of a coffee shop" means you are positioned with the coffee shop in front of you.
Opposite: "I am opposite a coffee shop" means you are positioned with the coffee shop in front of you but on the the other side of the road.
Across from: "I am opposite a coffee shop" means you are positioned with the coffee shop in front of you but on the the other side of the road.
these meanings are subtle in differences however.

Re:i have a question
'in front of' = 'en frente de' / 'delante de'
(opposite) 'opposite from' = 'al otro lado de'(lo que quiere dicir)/ al contrario(literal)
'across from' = (depende de lo que estas hablando...)'en frente de ti/'al crussar la calle'/ .....es igual que 'in front of'.

Actually if you are in front of the coffee shop, it can actually be behind you! I am in the front of the queue there are people behind me.
