We use during before nouns and noun phrases to refer to when something happens over a period of time. During can refer to the whole time of the event:

You are not allowed to use your mobile phone during class. (the whole of the class)

I have to have my window open during the night. (the whole of the night)

In this meaning, during can often mean the same as in:

His grandfather fought in the army during the First World War. (or … in the First World War.)

When I was a kid, our cousins often came to stay with us during the summer. (or … in the summer.)

During can refer to something that happened while the main event was taking place. In such contexts, during means ‘at some unspecified point in time’ and is more common than in:

What was that noise I heard during the night, I wonder? or … in the night. (I heard a noise at an unspecified point in the night.)

One day, during the Second World War, her father just disappeared. (He disappeared at an unspecified point.)

Warning:

We don’t use during when we refer to numbers and lengths of time. In this case, we use for:

They lived in Edinburgh for four years.

Not: They lived in Edinburgh during four years.

However, we can use during with the first or the last + length of time or time expression:

During the first three years of the war, 50,000 civilians were killed. (during refers to when this happened.)

I haven’t done any exercise during the last week. (during refers to when I didn’t do exercise.)

Typical error

  • We use during before nouns and noun phrases but not before verbs:

While I was waiting for the bus, I phoned some friends.

Not: During I was waiting for the bus

    Ответ на Unit 3, Step 5, Номер 5 из ГДЗ по Английскому языку 9 класс: Афанасьева (Учебник Rainbow)

    ГДЗ (готовое домашние задание из решебника) на Unit 3, Step 5, Номер 5 по учебнику Английский язык. 9 класс. Учебник в двух частях / О.В. Афанасьева, И.В. Михеева, К.М. Баранова. — Дрофа, 2019 (Российский учебник : Rainbow English)

    Do you know that…?
    The Middle Ages. In Western Europe the Middle Ages were a time (between AD 1100—1500) when church was very important. The Roman Catholic Church had great influence on people’s lives and on the way society was organized (feudalism). It was also the period when most cathedrals (large important churches) were built. The only people who could read and write were rich and powerful people and monks. The Middle Ages were also a time of many plagues. Sometimes they say that the Middle Ages began about AD 500, after the end of the Roman Empire, but this period is usually called the “Dark Ages” or the “Early Middle Ages”. The Renaissance [r??ne?s?ns] is the period in Europe from about 1400 to about 1600 when the art, literature, and ideas of the ancient world (Ancient Greece, especially) began to be studied again. The Renaissance influenced most of West Europe, but it is connected especially with Italy and the famous artists of the period — Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael. The beginning of Renaissance led to the end of the period called the “Middle Ages”.
