Why do Americans say 'The Summer' not 'Summer' for example 'Are you going away for the Summer'?
Summer isn't a destination or a single date. It's a season.
In Australia we would say - Are you going away this summer? Or Are you going away in the summertime?
It's strange to hear Americans make seasons seem like a single one off event. It's not.
