### Adjectives as Direct Objects

When you use a noun as a direct object—the thing receiving the action of a verb—it takes the accusative case. Adjectives must agree with the nouns they describe, which means they take the accusative case too.

### Masculine Inanimate Nouns

When a masculine noun is **inanimate** (a thing or place, rather than a person or animal), its accusative form is identical to its nominative form. The adjective describing it also stays exactly the same.

### Neuter Nouns

Just like inanimate masculine nouns, **neuter** nouns and their adjectives in the accusative case look exactly the same as they do in the nominative.

### The Fleeting "a"

Because inanimate masculine adjectives don't take a new ending in the accusative, any fleeting "a" in the dictionary form stays exactly where it is.
