Student Question

Secondary III • 3d

Hello! French is not my first language and I have a writing exam next week. I'm confused as I don't know the difference between "le" and "lui" (for example is it "le trouver" or "lui trouver"). I know its a silly question but i'm really not great at French and I want to improve. Thank you so much!
