Hello.

After writing for ten minutes, we passed the papers to the front.

Is the sentence above correct, especially in the usage of the front?
If correct, what's the meaning of the front?
I think it probably means the front desk.

Thank you.

It can also mean some destination at the front (such as the front desk), yes.
