travailleront

Travailleront is the third-person plural form of the French verb travailler in the future simple. It means “they will work” and is used with the subject ils or elles to indicate a future action or plan.

In regular -er verbs like travailler, the future simple is formed by adding the endings -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont to the infinitive. Therefore, travailleront follows this pattern: je travaillerai, tu travailleras, il/elle travaillera, nous travaillerons, vous travaillerez, ils/elles travailleront. The pronunciation aligns with other -er verbs in the future, with the final -ont marking the third-person plural.

Usage-wise, travailleront expresses a future event, a planned action, or a prediction about what people will do. It can appear in narrative or reported speech: “Ils travailleront demain sur le nouveau projet.” It contrasts with the futur proche (ils vont travailler), which emphasizes near future or immediacy, and with the conditionnel présent (ils travailleraient), which expresses hypothetical situations.

Etymology notes: travaill er comes from Old French travailler, ultimately tracing to Latin tripaliare. The form travail ler in the modern language is regular for most -er verbs in the future simple.

Examples:

- Ils travailleront sur le projet demain.

- Si tout se passe bien, ils travailleront plus tard dans la soirée.
