For three weeks
a. He is in Boston for three weeks.
b. He is staying in Boston for three weeks.
c. He is going to be in Boston for three weeks.
d. He will be in Boston for three weeks.
Do those mean that he just got to Boston and is going to stay for three weeks?
1. Could the sentences be used if he got to Boston some while ago and is going to stay there for three more weeks?
2. Could the sentences be used if he is going to be in Boston for less than three weeks, but his total stay will amount to three weeks? Let's say he got there eight or nine days ago or something....
Many thanks.
