Häufige Fehler

Actually, this is correct! A common mistake is leaving it as 'Vidím kniha'. Always change that final vowel.

Wrong: Vidím knihu.
Richtig: Vidím knihu.

Inanimate nouns do not change. You don't need to add an 'a' here!

Wrong: Jem chlieba.
Richtig: Jem chlieb.

Since a dog is alive, it must change to the Accusative animate form.

Wrong: Vidím pes.
Richtig: Vidím psa.
