Buying a ticket

A return ticket is en billet tur-retur — there and back:

Late and early

sen and tidlig are adjectives, so they agree like stor: et tidligt tog. The adverbs you already know, sent and tidligt, look the same as the neuter:

The train is late today.
Toget er sent i dag.
We are taking an early train.
Vi tager et tidligt tog.
