Is this sentence wrong? Ist der Satz falsch?
I'm still a German beginner and I learned my second lesson today, on my textbook there's few sentences and I'm confused about one sentence, so I want to figure out whether it's printed wrong or it's correct.

Thank you in advance.

1. ich suche meinen Studentenausweis.
2. ich suche meinE Schlüssel

why is it "meine" in the second sentence, Schlüssel is a masculine noun, shouldn't it be meinen Schlüssel?

Answer

It is "meine" because it's plural^^

Singular: Ich suche meinen Schlüssel
Plural: Ich suche meine Schlüssel

Answer

If it is one and only one key you are looking for, you would say:  Ich suche meinen Schlüssel.
Ich suche den Kellerschlüssel. Ich suche meinen Autoschlüssel.

But often you have several keys in a bundle, so in this case you say:  "meine Schlüssel" (plural) or "mein Schlüsselbund" (singular).

"Meine Schlüssel" is the plural - you use it whenever you have more than one of a kind.
"Mein Ausweis" is singular - the plural would be "meine Ausweise."

More plurals:  "Meine Schlüssel und meine Papiere sind weg." - 
"Wozu hast du zwei Ausweise?" 
"Hast du meine Schlüssel gesehen?"
