Wait in line的意思

"Wait in line" is an English expression that means to wait your turn as part of a queue or line. It implies that there are other people waiting ahead of you, and you need to stay in your place behind them until it's your turn. This expression is commonly used in contexts where people are waiting for something or someone, such as:

  1. At a checkout counter in a store.
  2. In front of an ATM.
  3. At a ticket booth.
  4. In a waiting room at a doctor's office.
  5. At a fast-food restaurant.

For example, if you are at a bank and there are several people waiting to be served, you would wait in line behind them. When it's your turn, you would approach the counter and conduct your business.

It's important to note that "wait in line" is a more formal way of saying "wait your turn." In casual situations, you might hear people say "wait your turn" or "take a number" instead.
