I think you mean when you add (not at) la to a verb - FELIZ77, Oct 19, 2011

Answer 1

Temer: Fear

Fearing it is not the reason. That's how you would translate the phrase "El temerla no es la razón" to english.

The -ing is represented, in spanish, by the addition of "-la" , "-le" , "-los", "-las". You are making it clear that the verb you just described is reffering to that something you were talking about.

For example,

There you said that being afraid (of something) was not the reason, while in spanish the phrase, el temerla ( la cosa de la que hablabas) no es la razón.

temerlas- Fearing something (that is btw femenine) To fear something

conocerlas- Knowing something (Femenine) To know something

adorarlos- Adoring something (Masculine) To adore something

tenerle- Having something for someone or something (F+M) To have something for someone

Answer 2

Fear it -the dog in this case add "lo"
