ahead

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in front' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'with one conclusion' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'conclusion' becomes 'head' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a' next to 'head' is 'AHEAD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ahead that I've seen before include "in van" , "In front as in race" , "In the vanguard" , "Forwards" , "Forward - in front" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
