Could someone help me understand when to use lo, le, la, los, les and las?

not a native speaker, but my 2 centavos are (very simplified):

  • lo/la: this is just him/her or genderized "it"
  • le: is to him / to her
  • ...s: same but plural

in use:

  • Le mando notas: i send notes to him
  • Le mando las: I send them (as in the notes, female) to him
  • perplexingly, le can point at female or male objects, it's a indirect object pronoun for both sexes

maybe that makes it clearer:

Edit: I did like five edits to that already, I agree this shit is confusing.
