No, they are not, but it can be a bit tricky. During refers to what happened while a certain amount of time has passed. In focuses more on the specific amount of time that has passed.

Examples:

  • He did it during the summer.
    He did it in five hours.
In the first sentence, we are given a vague idea of when the activity took place. In the second sentence, we are told exactly how long the activity lasted.

How did I do, Teach?

:wink:
it was very good teaching now i know the difference between IN and DURING thank you so much

That is the answer!
 
Both of them are correct.
 
I voted for either because both of them can be used as preposition to mean(( at some period of time)).
 
i confuse between in and during but i voit during i think its the best ansowr
 
It depends on speaker's condition.

If the speaker worked all the summer, the answer is "during".

If the speaker worked several hours or days, we use "in".

:)
 
How about this?

I worked there all summer long!

Its sound is very emphasis!:-D
 
During= period of time.
 
In my opinion "in"
