If I'd like to put the preposition 'in' in this sentence, I think it should be,
I worked there in the summer time.
-->meaning I worked there for an entire summer time.
Is that right?

I worked there in the summer. [It was summer when I worked there. No duration is discussed].
I worked there during the summer. [It was summer when I worked there. A duration is suggested (activity over time) but the length of time is not specified.]
These two could be exactly the same, but "during" suggests a longer period than "in".
If the speaker worked there all summer, then "for the summer" would be more precise. :wink:
