Question
in:1. during a period of time
2. at the end of a period of time
-------------------------------------
I found the definition of the preposition 'in' in the dictionary.
Does #1 mean 'within'?
When we use the use of #2?
3. Just remember to give it back in a week.
(Does 'in' in #3 mean #1 or #2 or 'within'? When do we use #2?)
4. I will be back in a week.
(Here, 'in' means #2, right?)
