用法筆記

Frequently used in passive constructions (be submitted) and perfect tenses (have/has/had submitted). Spelling: the final consonant 't' doubles before adding -ed, giving 'submitted' (not 'submited'). Common with prepositions 'to' (recipient), 'by' (agent or deadline), and 'for' (purpose such as review or approval).
