How do you use direct object pronouns in French?
To avoid repeating ourselves in English we often replace a noun with it.
In French we use the direct object pronouns: le, la and les in place of their respective gender noun. They come before the verb, and are abbreviated to l' if they are directly before a vowel or silent h. For example:
Tu vois le dauphin dans la mer? - Oui je vois le dauphin dans la mer.
We can shorten this with the direct object pronoun le. Tu vois le dauphin dans la mer? - Oui je le vois.
