In French, how do you say "I worked very hard"?

Update:

Please do not answer if you're just going to look it up on Google Translate.

Update 2:

Would you add an 'e' to the end of fort for a girl?

    "J'ai travaillé très fort".

    Edit: No, you don't add an "e" at "fort" , because here the word "fort" is used as an adverb and is, therefore, invariable.

    In reply to poster "hope" below, yes: "fort" also means "strong" when it is used as an adjective in a sentence, such as "this man is strong= cet homme est fort". However, it isn't the meaning in the present sentence posted by the asker.

    (In fact, it is no different in its English meaning. "hard" can be used as an adjective (this chair is hard) and also as an adverb (I worked very hard) depending on the context.

    A1 is right except I'd add 2 points.

    fort as opposed to dur has a more positive notion

    "bosser" is a very common slang word for to work.

    Fort means strong. Like a strong man. Or a strong woman.

    I'd say instread,

    J'ai travaillé beacoup.

    If its a girl, travaillé becomes travaillée
