travailler
to work
The French word 'travailler' is used similar to the English verb 'to work'. It can refer to a job or work action, and can be used in various contexts. For example, 'Je travaille dans une banque' means 'I work in a bank'. Like English, it can be conjugated in different tenses to indicate when the work is/was/will be done.
