Leur meaning
This question relates to:French lesson "Using lui/leur = him or her/them (French Indirect Object Pronouns)"
Asked 4 years ago
Hi Nada,
Leur can be both them or their, depending on whether it is an indirect object pronoun as in the lesson you pinned or a possessive adjective. Take a look at the following Kwiziq lesson for this other use of leur -

Doesn't leur and les mean them. so cant it be "Je leur parle" or "je les parle"

'leur' and 'les' are different object pronouns and depend on the verb you use here. Please take a look at the relevant Kwiziq lessons -
Bonne Continuation!
