Answer 2

a. I fell and hurt myself while I was playing tennis. (Here, "while" is used to indicate that the action of falling and hurting oneself happened at the same time as playing tennis.)

b. It started to rain during the match. (Here, "during" is used to indicate the time when the rain began, which was while the match was happening.)

c. We played tennis for two hours. (Here, "for" is used to specify the duration of time, indicating that the tennis game lasted for two hours.)

d. I worked in Italy for three years. (Here, "for" is used to specify the duration of time during which you worked in Italy, which was three years.)

e. During the summer, I stayed on a farm in Tuscany. (Here, "during" is used to specify the time when you stayed on the farm, which was the summer.)

f. I learned Italian while I was there. (Here, "while" is used to indicate that the action of learning Italian happened at the same time as being there.)

g. We went on holiday to Florida for three weeks. (Here, "for" is used to specify the duration of the holiday, which was three weeks. Additionally, "during the day it was very hot, but it was cool at night" is not related to the use of "for" or "during" in this context. It describes the weather conditions during the day and night while you were on holiday.)
