In his first term or At its(his) first term?
Hello,
I'm back again bringing more one doubt.
What is correct to say? "In his first term, president..." or "at its (or his) first term, president..."?
For example:
1)In his first term, president Lula didn't make any exceptional...
2)At its first term, president Lula didn't make any exceptional...
3)At his first term, president Lula didn't make any exceptional...
I'd like to know if all these sentences could be used or if do not, which of those I could use and what is wrong with them.
Thanks a lot!

In his first term, or during his first term is fine
Re: In his first term or At its(his) first term?
Thank you for answer.
But can I use the option 3 too or it's wrong?

Definitely not 2 or 3. And - though it's not relevant to your question - use do rather than make:
In his first term, president Lula did nothing exceptional/didn't do anything exceptional.
''make any exceptional" doesn't mean anything. (unless you append a noun - make any exceptional effort, for example); and "make an exception" does mean something (but not what you mean here).

The complete sentence that I gave as example I was trying to say:
"In his first term, president Lula didn't make any exceptional thing to Brazilian people." - this sentence is wrong, right?
so I have to say:
"In his first term, president Lula didn't do anything exceptional to Brazilian people". - is that right?
Thanks a lot!

This is correct
"In his first term, president Lula didn't do anything exceptional for the Brazilian people". - [B]
