Simple Present tense
Why do we use the simple present tense with the two verbs in bold? I thought the simple present could only be used with certain verbs, and I don't believe ('hand, in particular) classifies.
It is with great sadness that I wish to hand in my resignation
It is with great sadness that I announce my resignation.
It is with great sadness that I hand in my resignation
Please can you clear this up
Thanks
