replied to mine letter

No substitution

reply my letter

replied to my letter

- The given sentence contains the phrase "replied mine letter," which is grammatically incorrect.

- The word "mine" is a possessive pronoun and should be used independently, not before a noun.

- Option 1: replied to mine letter

- "Mine" is incorrect here. It should be "my" as a possessive adjective before the noun "letter."

- Option 2: No substitution

- The phrase is incorrect as it stands, so substitution is needed.

- Option 3: reply my letter

- "Reply" typically requires a preposition "to" when used with an object like "letter."

- Option 4: replied to my letter

- This is grammatically correct. "Replied to" is the correct verb-preposition combination, and "my" is the correct possessive adjective.
