Default Re: in the summer

Quote:
1-I stay at my uncle's place in the summer.
I would expect that to mean that it is a regular occurrence--that the speaker stays at his uncle's place every summer.

Quote:
2-I am staying at my uncle's place in the summer.
3-I am staying at my uncle's place this summer.
Those mean pretty much the same thing. The speaker expects to be staying at his uncle's place during the upcoming summer.


Quote:
4-I am staying at my uncle's place for the summer.
I would expect that to mean that not only is he staying at his uncle's place but he expects to be there for the entire season.

[Edited for spelling]
