So, I am wondering do I need to delete the submitButton element?

I have tried deleting and replacing the submitButton with the form element, but the code is still not working. I need some help with this problem?

app.js 
const form = document.querySelector('form');
const submitButton = form.querySelector('type=Submit');

submitButton.addEventListener('submit', () => {  
});
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Submit Event</title>
</head>
<body>
<form>
  <label>Name:</label>
  <input type="text" name="name">
  <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

The system should have given you this hint:
ā€ƒ Bummer: You didn't use addEventListener on the form

That's a hint that the "submit" event should be listened for on the form instead of the button.
