Maarten K.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

Raymond - it has no meaning. It is the euphonic l’ …. not a pronoun. It is optional and often dropped in everyday speech nowadays. It is still common in formal speech and writing however.

Just to add to what Maarten said, this has been asked before and you may find Céline's answer to Chris very useful.
