This question is sort of incomplete. Based on what You have I can give you that motion is the movement of a thing relative to one or more other things so to talk, perhaps, of speed, your pen may come to rest after swinging but that is only at rest relative to its support but at the same time your table will be spinning around with the Earth at several hundred kph and again is travelling approximately 30,000 kph relative to space as the Earth travels around the Sun. It's all to do with your 'frame of reference.'

Newton's first law of motion was the law of inertia. When an object is in motion, it stays in motion. When an object is in rest, it stays in rest.

How do you tell if a pen is at rest or in motion?

The "pen at rest or in motion" is a part of a physics lesson used to teach Newton's Laws of Motion. It's used as an example for force, motion, and energy. A pen is in motion during active writing. Otherwise, the pen is at rest when not being used.
