one of numerous articles on using lo in Spanish

In the lessons you may be discussing its use as an object pronoun however, so here is an article more on that usage:

We have Reference articles on the use of object pronouns (accusative and dative) if that pertains to your question.

Lo is a direct or indirect object pronoun that can be used to replace someone or something from a following sentence, once it has been implied. For example:

Tengo un buen amígo, y lo tiene una mascota. - person

¿Puedo tener el dinero? Si, puede tenerlo. - thing

This is an easy way of avoiding redundancy in sentences that use the same object, as either a person receiving something/an action, or the something they are receiving.
