Salut Lely,
"La télé ? Oui, Marc l'a regardée." The telly? Yes, Marc watched it.
Regarder is a transitive verb so takes a direct object. The above has been pasted from the lesson -- If we now negate the verb we have "Marc ne l'a pas regardée." Where l' (la) refers to the television as a direct object pronoun.
