Lui versus l’

Je ________ ai appris que la France a aboli l'esclavage en 1848.


In the above question, the answer in the test shows “lui” but shouldn’t it be l’ since the verb starts with vowel?

This question relates to:French lesson "Using lui/leur = him or her/them (French Indirect Object Pronouns)"

Hi Xiaohan,

The indirect pronoun 'lui' is never 'elided' before a vowel. 

Furthermore, 'le' or l' would make it a direct pronoun and would be wrong.

Bonne Continuation !
