By the way, I want to ask, do I still need to add 给 when I use this word : 还?

@Agnes yeah, you need to. Although it could be omitted in informal oral expressions.

@Agnes For example, 我来还你书 is totally acceptable in oral expressions, which could be translated to "i come here to return you the book".

Yes, you can add 给, but it's not 100% necessary. </p>

<p>For example, I return the book to you:
below are all valid translations
我把书还给你
我把书还你
我还你书
我还给你书</p>

我还你把书
我还给你把书

1. 提交 is merely an action. 提交给 requires a word to refer to the person who review/read the thing you submitted.
2. 给 means "to" in English. When it appears right after 提交, 借 etc., it needs you to provide a word right after 给 to refer to the person that you **submit [sth.] to** or **lend [sth.] to**
3. 把 is used in some expression like "send the book to you" which could be translated to "把 书交给你". Usually the word “把” does not have an explicit correspondence in English. For those words you've give, you could use “把” when you mean "return/submit something to someone". In other words, if you want to state the receiver, then you should use 给.
