¿Qué representa el pronombre 'le' en esta frase?

[Yoodle15]

"Elena le informa a Raquel que no sabe nada de la carta del secreto de la señora Suárez."

Representa Raquel o representa la carta?

[aleCcowaN]

Elena no la leyó y le informa eso.

(la = carta)
(le = Raquel)

I know it's difficult, but the way is to quickly inspect the rough meaning of the verb: "informar" involves some conscious process both ends of the line, so it should be a person, not a thing. Easier said that done, but developing an ability to instantly categorized verbs can be a key point in mastering these subjects. It's only hard in the beginning.

A couple of corrections.

Thank you! But isn't Raquel a woman? Shouldn't the pronoun used to describe her be 'la'?

Yes, but that "le" refers to "(a) ella"

Right?

@Yoodle: Check the differences between indirect and direct object pronouns.

No, 'le' is an indirect object pronoun, and this is what should be used. 'La' is a direct object pronoun, as is 'lo', 'las' and 'los'. They need to agree in gender, and number, with the direct object they replace. The indirect object pronouns 'le' and 'les' don't agree in gender with the indirect object they replace, only in number.
