For direct-object pronouns = lo, la (him, it, her) which go in front of a conjugated verb except with an affirmative command.
¿el libro? Lo tengo = The book? I have IT.
¿la casa? La compré = The house? I bought IT.
¿Los platos? Los pongo aquí = The dishes? I put THEM here.
¿Las lámparas? No las tengo. = The lamps? I do not have them.
Notice that if the direct object refers to a masculine singular noun, you use "lo." If it refers to a feminine singular noun, you use "la." If the noun understood is masculine plural, use "los" and if that noun is feminine plural, use "las."
Le is USUALLY an indirect-object pronoun meaning to, for, at OR from him, her, it. However is Spain and where Castillian is spoken, only for the 3rd person singular noun referring to a person, "le" is used in place of "lo" and this is called "leísmo."
