Existence of le in a sentence
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate -é(-)er, -e(-)er verbs - except -eter and -eler - in the present tense in French (Le Présent) "

Bonjour Marsha!
The correct sentence will be-
Tu révèles ton secret et nous révélons le nôtre.
Here, “le” is actually a part of the possessive pronoun- ‘le nôtre’ which means “ours”.
Also, le agrees in number and gender to the object it refers to, that is, the secret in this case which is masculine singular.
Have a look at the following Kwiziq lesson->
Le nôtre/le vôtre/le leur/etc = Ours/yours/theirs (French Possessive Pronouns)
The sentence hence means-
You reveal your secret and we reveal ours.
Hope this helps!
