Notes
GENERAL INFO
la is a definite article (feminine singular, meaning "the") or a direct object pronoun (feminine singular, meaning "her" or "it").
USAGE
As an article, it precedes feminine singular nouns: *la table* (the table).
As a pronoun, it replaces a feminine noun: *Je la vois* (I see her/it).
TRAPS
Do not confuse "la" with "là" (there).
Remember it contracts to " l' " before a vowel or mute 'h' (e.g., *l'heure*).
Always ensure it matches the feminine singular gender.
