Questions & Answers about Завтра я отправлю документ другу.

What does Завтра mean, and why is it placed at the beginning of the sentence?

Завтра means “tomorrow.” Russian allows relatively free word order. Placing the time adverb at the start gives it emphasis or just follows the common “time–manner–place” pattern. You could also say Я завтра отправлю документ другу, but starting with Завтра stresses when the action happens.

Why isn't there a comma after Завтра?

In Russian, a single adverb of time at the beginning of a simple sentence does not require a comma. Commas appear only when there’s a longer introductory phrase or if the writer wants an extra pause for style.

What case is документ in, and why?

Документ is in the accusative case because it’s the direct object of the verb отправлю (“I will send”). For inanimate masculine nouns like документ, the accusative form is identical to the nominative.

Why is другу in the dative case, and why is there no preposition like к or в?

Другу is the indirect object (“to a friend”), so it takes the dative case. Many Russian verbs of giving or sending (отправить, дать, послать) allow a dative object without any preposition.
