SUBMIT AND DEADLINES

• Submit: it can be a synonymous of to give. It can be to sent by email, or it can be to hand something out. If the teacher said that we have to give her our workbooks done before Christmas, I have to hand my workbook out for the date she said.


• The last day when the teacher is going to take our workbooks is called the deadline. It is a time limit.


• But be carefull with the prepositions. Imagine that the picture shows October's calendar. We can say that the deadline is the 5th of October but we have two posibilities:

1. You have to hand your workbook out ON the October 5th. It means that you have to submit your book only in that day, you have not other posibilities.


2. You have to hand your workbook out BY the October 5th. It means that you can submit the work the 4th of October or even in September but the last day will be October 5th.
