Hi Raymond, 

just to add to what Jim said, this is the lesson you need to look at -

Using neuter pronouns le or l' to refer to previously mentioned ideas (French Direct Object Pronouns)

Bonne Continuation !

Bonjour Raymond,

"I will tell you it (le) when you promise to keep quiet" The le (it) is making a reference to some aspect previously mentioned or alluded to.

This is how I see it  --  hope it helps.

Bonne journée

Jim
