用法說明
How is "Submit" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Submit"?
submit to doing vs submit to do
- "submit to doing" 表示接受或屈服於一個既成事實、常態或必須忍受的狀況，後接動名詞 (gerund)。
- "submit to do" 則較為少見，通常出現在較正式的語境中，表示同意或承諾去執行某個具體的動作，後接不定詞 (infinitive)。
- 在表示「屈服、忍受」的含義時，使用 "submit to doing" 是更自然、更常見的選擇。
- 被動語態 "be submitted to" 後面通常也接動名詞，表示被迫接受某種處理或狀況。 EN: The rebels finally submitted to disarming their forces. 翻譯: 叛軍最終同意解除武裝。
EN:The software will automatically submit to run a security check.
翻譯:該軟體會自動執行安全檢查。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Submit"?Which "Submit" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I submitted my homework to my teacher.
✓I submitted my homework to my teacher.
This is actually correct. A common misconception is that 'submit to' is only for surrendering. However, 'submit [something] to [someone]' is correct for handing in documents or work.
×He submitted his resignation.
✓He submitted his resignation.
This is correct. Learners sometimes incorrectly avoid using 'submit' with 'resignation' or 'application', thinking it's too formal. It is the standard and natural verb for these contexts.
×I will submit the form.
✓I will submit the form.
This is correct. The mistake is learners often use less precise verbs like 'give' or 'send' when 'submit' is more accurate for official documents, forms, or proposals.
×We should submit to his opinion.
✓We should defer to his opinion. / We should accept his opinion.
'Submit to' implies yielding under pressure or authority, often reluctantly. For simply agreeing or respecting someone's view, 'defer to' or 'accept' is more appropriate.
×He submitted himself to finish the hard work.
✓He applied himself to finish the hard work. / He committed himself to finishing the hard work.
'Submit oneself to' is followed by a noun (e.g., a process, authority, examination), not an infinitive verb. For dedicating effort to a task, use 'apply oneself to' or 'commit oneself to'.
×The website is not easy to submit.
✓The website is not easy to submit forms on. / It is not easy to submit forms on the website.
'Submit' is a transitive verb and needs an object (what is being submitted). The passive voice here is incorrectly used without specifying what is submitted. Rephrase to include the object.
