I have just seen a explanation of the word"labour" has a meaning as "to move or work etc slowly or with difficulty". so im trying to make a sentence with this meaning.
This old man seems to labout at this job ....
can this be correct ?
Yes, that sentence is correct, although it doesn't quite convey the sense of the difficulty. So, for example, you might write: The man is old and in poor health, so he must labour at the job. (You're over-using "this" in the sentence you wrote.)
@Arafat ,
They laboured up a steep and tortuous track.
@Arafat ,
Yes. Check "laborious" in your dictionary.
