During vs. through Tue Jan 31, 2006 10:48 am  During vs. through
 

Dear Viviana,
“Around this time of the year” means “close to this time of the year”.
You can say also “during this time of the year” but not “through this time of the year”.
But you can look THROUGH the window DURING the long break.
