Choose هَذَا or هَذِهِاِخْتَرْ هَذَا أَوْ هَذِهِ
The demonstrative must match the gender of the singular noun, not the gender of the speaker.
هَذَا قَلَمٌ.
Use هَذَا with masculine singular objects: كِتَابٌ، دَفْتَرٌ، قَامُوسٌ، مَكْتَبٌ، حَاسُوبٌ.
هَذِهِ مِسْطَرَةٌ.
Use هَذِهِ with feminine singular objects: حَقِيبَةٌ، سَبُّورَةٌ، مِقْلَمَةٌ، مِمْحَاةٌ، طَاوِلَةٌ.
Do not guess from English
Arabic noun gender controls the choice
The ending ـة is a strong feminine clue, but always learn the word with its model sentence.
Fourteen-question gender and demonstrative laboratory

Say where each object isحَدِّدْ مَكَانَ كُلِّ أَدَاةٍ
Combine a location phrase with a classroom object. Accurate location turns a word list into useful communication.
فِي حَقِيبَتِي كِتَابٌ، وَعَلَى مَكْتَبِي حَاسُوبٌ، وَتَحْتَ الكُرْسِيِّ حَقِيبَةٌ.
Notice that the place phrase comes first and the object follows.
قَلَمٌ وَاحِدٌ · قَلَمَانِ · ثَلَاثَةُ أَقْلَامٍ
مِسْطَرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ · مِسْطَرَتَانِ · ثَلَاثُ مَسَاطِرَ
