In French, you use l' when the next word that 'le' or 'la' is describing starts with a vowel, like in the word 'aliment', which is a case where you would say l'aliment instead of le aliment You use 'le' or 'la' when it is before a word that starts with a consonant, like the word 'papier'. In that case, you would say le papier, and not l'papier.

What is the difference between le and l' in french?

'le' and 'la' are the two French words which correspond to the English word 'the'. 'le stylo' :: 'the pen' (usually, but not always, a biro) 'la plume' :: 'the pen' (usually, but not always, a fountain-pen) French needs two words for 'the' because its nouns all have grammatical gender (a feature which is absent in English). le stylo, le soleil, le violon :: the pen, the sun, the violin but la plume, la lune, la guimbarde :: the pen, the moon, the jawharp When 'le' or 'la' precede a word that begins with a vowel, they shorten to 'l' ''l'alouette' 'the lark' (NOT la alouette); 'l'opposite' 'the opposite' (NOT le opposite). So there is really no difference between 'l' and 'le' in French. 'Le' becomes 'l' when the next letter is a vowel.

When to put l' in front of French word?

le, la, les are articles in French. You put them before a noun:le (followed by a masculine noun) > le matinla (followed by a feminine noun) > la voiturele (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 coldex 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
