The sentence is indicating possession of an object, the correct answer is my, as it's the possessive form of the pronoun "I" indicating that the pen belongs to the speaker. Mine is also a possessive form of "I" it's only used when the noun is not mentioned. I is the pronoun that refers to the speaker and me is the pronoun that is used as the object of the verb or preposition.
Possessive
If you've ever stared at its and it's and not been sure which one belonged in your sentence, you've met English's most-confused possessive. The fix is small but immediate: its (no apostrophe) is the possessive of it; it's (with apostrophe) always means it is or it has. Get this right and you instantly look more careful as a writer.
The possessive form shows ownership in English. Most nouns take 's (Sarah's book); plural nouns ending in s take just an apostrophe (students' essays). Pronouns have irregular possessive determiners (my, your, his, her) and pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers).
Pronoun
If you've ever paused before who vs whom, its vs it's, or me vs I — you've felt how much weight pronouns carry in English. They're tiny words but they're case-sensitive (I vs me), context-dependent, and one of the few places where everyday English still trips careful speakers. Get the common patterns right and you instantly sound more careful.
A pronoun is a closed class of small words that replace nouns or noun phrases. Types: personal (I, you, he…), demonstrative (this, that), relative (who, which), interrogative (who?, what?), reflexive (myself), and indefinite (everyone, nobody).
Noun and pronoun
If you've ever written Tom told Mike that he was wrong and realised your reader had no idea who he meant, you've hit the territory this tag covers. Nouns and pronouns are inseparable: a pronoun's meaning depends on the noun it refers to, and pronoun choice is what controls whether your writing is precise or ambiguous.
The Noun and pronoun tag groups topics that span both nouns (words naming things) and pronouns (their substitutes: I, you, he, they, this, who). Both classes occupy the same sentence slots; together they cover plurals, possessives, agreement, case, and reference.
A2 | Elementary | Pre-intermediate
If you can order coffee, ask for directions, and tell someone what you did yesterday — but struggle the moment the conversation drifts into anything abstract — you're operating at A2. Knowing this matters: A2 is the level where most learners plateau because they reach for B2 material too early and burn out. Stay here and your foundations get unbreakable.
A2 is the elementary level in the CEFR framework, covering routine communication and the first wave of real grammar: past simple and continuous, present perfect, basic modal verbs, first conditional, and common verb-pattern rules.
Difficulty: Easy
If a textbook leaves you confused, sometimes the issue isn't the topic — it's that the practice material is layered with extra complications. Filtering by Easy strips that away. You get one rule at a time, in plain everyday language, with no trick questions. It's how you make a shaky foundation solid before stacking more on top.
The Easy difficulty tag marks beginner-level questions and challenges — typically A1 or early A2. Single-rule focus, short sentences, common vocabulary, one clear correct answer.
