An application is a formal request for a job or place.
The idea
Say an application for a job, send an application and complete an application. The plural is applications.
Examples
- Her application for the museum job arrived today.
- He sent an application to the college.
- Please complete the application before Friday.
- The school received thirty applications for the course.
- Our application included a short letter.
- The manager read his application carefully.
