Erros comuns

Neuter nouns like 'jabolko' usually stay the same in the Accusative. Don't add an extra ending unless plural!

Wrong: Jaz vidim jabolka.
Correto: Jaz vidim jabolko.

The subject must be in the Nominative case, not the Accusative.

Wrong: Psa teče.
Correto: Pes teče.

Feminine nouns ending in -a change to -o when they are the direct object.

Wrong: Jaz berem knjiga.
Correto: Jaz berem knjigo.
