| Phrase | to submit |
| Text | The verb "to submit," in this podcast, means to officially give or send something to a person or organization, especially when that person or organization will review and/or approve it: "We're supposed to submit our essays to the professor by email by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday." The verb "to submit" also means to accept the authority and power of another person or organization over oneself: "Do you believe that modern women should submit themselves to their husband as in the past, or should they be more independent now?" Or, "Lou doesn't want to submit to the authorities in any way, so he refuses to pay taxes." In a court of law, lawyers "submit evidence," or present arguments, documents, videos, and tapes that help them argue their side of the case: "The lawyers submitted a lot of evidence to show that the man was guilty." |
