An adjective must always agree with the noun it is describing. So, if the noun is in the accusative case, the adjective also must be in the accusative case.
If an adjective is describing a masculine or a neuter inanimate noun this is not a problem: the ending is just the sаme as it is in the nominative singular:
Я читаю интересный журнал. I am reading an interesting newspaper.
If an adjective is describing a masculine animate noun (e.g. врач, doctor), the ending of the adjective must change; there are two possible endings, его for soft and possessive adjectives and for unsffessed adjectives whose stem ends in ж, ч, ш, щ, ц; otherwise, use ого:
хороший новый врач – я знаю хорошего нового врача (I know a good new doctor).
твой прежний – я знаю твоего прежнего врача (I know your former doctor).
In the unlikely event of a neuter noun being animate, the adjective which describes it takes the same endings as a masculine adjective, for example, важное лицо (VIP).
Вы знаете этого важного лица? Do you know this very important person?
Adjectives describing feminine nouns always change in the accusative, whether the noun they are describing is animate (e.g. aктриca, actress) or inanimate (e.g. квартира, flat). The four possible endings are ую, юю, у, ю.
