Questions & Answers about Ansøgningen skal endvidere sendes inden fredag.
Why does this sentence use the s-passive (sendes) rather than the bliver-passive (bliver sendt)?
In Danish, when a passive verb directly follows a modal verb like skal, kan, or vil, you almost always use the s-passive. Therefore, skal sendes (must be sent) sounds much more natural than skal blive sendt.
Could I use før instead of inden for before Friday?
You could use før fredag, but inden is the better choice here. Inden is specifically used to mark a deadline (meaning no later than), which fits perfectly when talking about submitting an application. Før simply means earlier in time.
Is endvidere a common word to use for furthermore?
It is common in formal, written Danish, such as official instructions or professional emails. In everyday speech, it sounds too stiff; you would usually say desuden or simply også instead.
Why is endvidere placed in the middle of the verbs skal and sendes?
Endvidere is a central adverb. In a main clause, the rule is that central adverbs come right after the first conjugated verb. Here, that is the modal verb skal, so the adverb steps in before the second verb sendes.
