构词ad- + -mit- （= send发送）

同根 commit; permit; submit commitment; committee

常犯错误

✗ He admitted to break the window.

✓ He admitted (to) breaking the window. 他承认打破了窗户。

巧记 -mit → -mission

以-mit结尾的动词转换为名词时，把-mit改为-mission。如：

permit → permission

admit → admission

commit → commission

巧记 forget, remember, regret和admit一样，后接doing sth，表示“忘记、记得已经做过的事”，“对已发生的事表示遗憾”。
