le, la, les are articles in French. You put them before a noun:
le (followed by a masculine noun) > le matin
la (followed by a feminine noun) > la voiture
le (followed by a plural of any gender)
The article l' stands for the singular le or la, meaning you can use it with a singular masculine or feminine noun, when the word begins by a vowel sound.
ex: eau (water) is feminine, and the article should be 'la', but it is replaced by l', for the purpose of pronounciation. > l'eau est froide = the water is cold
ex 2: oiseau (bird) is masculine, and the article should be 'le', but it is replaced by l', for the purpose of pronounciation. > l'oiseau chante = the bird is singing

In French, "l'" is a contraction of the preposition "le" or "la" with a word beginning with a vowel or silent "h." Use "l'" before masculine singular nouns that begin with a vowel or silent "h" that is not aspirated. For example, "l'ami" (the friend), "l'arbre" (the tree), "l'homme" (the man).
