Time adverbial phrases seem very confusing. Google doesn't show any past questions on this. I'd like to ask how I should write a sentence with a temporal phrase indicating season and year:

[subject] [verb] [temporal adverbial phrase]

Now the problem is with the temporal adverbial phrase. Do I have to use the definite article to denote seasons? Do I have to you the preposition "in"? And what combinations work? What don't? A comment helpfully suggests this version works: in the season of year. And I'd like to know what other versions work. What makes it really confusing is we see similar phrases in headlines all the time with random words omitted, even in the body of online articles. For example:

Morgan Hill City Officials voted 5-0 to pass the Butterfield Fire Station construction to start summer 2023.

New Football Operations/Development Building. Projected to start Summer 2023 and be done by Winter 2024.

The project is planned to start summer of 2023.

So some variations I have thought of are, and I'd like to know, as a very specific question about grammaticality and style, to what degrees are these acceptable in writing, and to what degrees can they be used in headlines:

✅I started learning Java summer 2010.
✅I started learning Java summer of 2010.
I started learning Java in summer 2010.
I started learning Java the summer 2010.
✅I started learning Java the summer of 2010.
I started learning Java in the summer 2010.
