Sir.
In our school when students are going out in a line after the class, some students are entering in between the line to be first, in that situvation can I ask?
Why are you entering in the midst of line? Is it correct or another sentence?
Thank you

I'd call him out like this:

"Why are you cutting in front of everyone else?"
or
"Why are you skipping to the head of the line?"
or
"Stop cutting in line!"

[STRIKE]Sir.[/STRIKE] Hello everyone!

In our school when students are going out in a line after [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] class, some students [STRIKE]are entering in between the line[/STRIKE]enter into the line to try to be first. In that situvation can I ask[STRIKE]?[/STRIKE]:

"Why are you entering in the midst of line?"

Is it correct or should I use another sentence?

Thank you.

Please see my amendments above. There is no need to address your posts to "Sir" - it is overly formal and also the users on the forum are both male and female.

In BrE, we would say:

Don't push in!
Don't push to the front.
Stop jumping the queue.

Bear in mind that in BrE it's a queue, in AmE, it's a line.
