“in summer” or “on summer”, which one is appropriate?

1 Answer

  1. When the full phrase is used, “not in summer”, it is a type of negative, which requires the word “not” in front of the subject. On the other hand, “on summer” is a type of prepositional phrase, which does not require “not”. For example:

    • “I do not like on summer.” when the speaker is referring to the dislike of the subject “the summer season”.
    • “I don’t like summer.” when the speaker is referring to the dislike of the subject “the season summer”.

    In the above examples, the term “I don’t like summer” is a type of negative, which requires “do not” in front of the subject “I”.
