Final answer:

Choosing the correct pronoun depends on its role in the sentence. 'I' is used as a subject, 'me' as an object, 'my' indicates possession, and 'we' is used as a plural subject including the speaker.

Step-by-step explanation:

Choosing between I, me, my, and we depends on whether the word is functioning as the subject, object, or showing possession in the sentence. When referring to oneself, I is used as a subjective case pronoun acting as the subject of a verb, while me is an objective case pronoun acting as the object of a verb or preposition. My is a possessive case pronoun indicating ownership, and we is a subjective case plural pronoun used as the subject when including oneself and others.

For example, 'I went to the store' is correct because 'I' is the subject. In contrast, 'The store clerk greeted me' is correct because 'me' is the object of the verb 'greeted'. Lastly, using 'we' as in 'We bought groceries' indicates that the speaker and at least one other person are the subjects who performed the action of buying groceries.
