Definition: An "application form" is a document that you fill out when you want to apply for something, like a job, a school, a loan, or a program. It usually has spaces where you write your personal information, such as your name, address, and qualifications.
When to Use: You use an application form when you want to request something formally. This could be for a job, a college, or any service that requires you to provide information.
How to Fill It Out:
In more formal contexts, you might encounter phrases like "submission of application form" or "completed application form." These indicate that the form has been filled out and is being sent for review.
While "application form" typically refers to the document for making requests, the word "application" can also mean: - The act of putting something into use (e.g., the application of a theory). - A software program on a computer or mobile device (often called an "app").
"Fill out" (phrasal verb): To complete a form by writing information in the spaces provided.
"Submit" (verb): To send in an application form for consideration.
