contents This paper introduces a novel tangential-normal ($t$-$n$) decomposition for finite element differential forms, presenting a new framework for constructing bases in finite element exterior calculus. The main contribution is the development of a $t$-$n$ basis where degrees of freedom and shape functions are explicitly dual, a property that streamlines stiffness matrix assembly and enhances the efficiency of interpolation and numerical integration. Additionally, the integration of the well-documented Lagrange element basis supports practical implementation of finite element differential forms in applications. A geometric decomposition using newly defined bubble polynomial forms is also presented.
