Le versus ça with trouve

Why can’t I say “Je le trouve grossier/irrespectueux?” As the sentence read “I find it disrespectful?”

Hi Glen,

If you are talking about a general situation you will use 'ça' or 'cela'.

If you use 'le'it would indicate you are talking about a particular person being crude.

Bonne Continuation !

You could, and it would be ok. In practice, though, you'd hear more often ça.
