Question

what months are in this season?
这句话问得对吗?是否应改为what months are there in this season?
该如何回答呢?They are June,July and August in the summer.
还是应该回答There are June,July and August in the summer.
那what months are in this season?这个问句中没有there算不算错呢？也就是说这里的there是不是可省略的,还是必不可少的?用They are June,July and August in summer。来回答算不算错呢？
我知道正确应说in summer,如果写成in the summer是否可以呢？与没有the比在意思上有什么差别呢？
我知道最正确,最被大家所认同的说法.只是想知道这样回答到底可不可以?算不算错呢?

Answer 1

应该用：
What months are there in this season?
回答：
There are June,July and August in summer.
不用定冠词the
因为是泛指所有的summer
题目的问法,在语法上没有错,可以这么说.但是回答时要说：
June,July and August are in summer
the summer 和 summer 是有不同的：
in summer指的是一般的夏天.
比如：Most people like to swim in summer,but some are fond of swimming in winter.大多数人喜欢夏天游泳,有些人喜欢冬天游.
in the summer指某个特定的夏天.比如：
I will go to Tibet in the summer.
为了强调也会说“in this summer”,不过人们更习惯省掉in.
