The word "during" is a preposition used to indicate presence or action within a specific timeframe. It can mean continuously throughout a period or at some point within it. It's crucial to distinguish "during" from "for"; "during" answers "when?" while "for" answers "how long?".

The word "during" is a preposition used to indicate that something happens continuously or at some point within a specific period of time or event. It is important not to confuse "during" with "for" when expressing duration; "during" specifies when something occurs, while "for" answers the question of how long something lasts.
