      why is the translation wrong if I did not use an 'a'? I answered 'Man is not a child'.

        Because "man" means "mankind." "A man" is just mężczyzna

            Why is dzieckiem in narzędnik? Wouldn't its negation cause it to be dopełniacz?

              Not all cases behave like that. Instrumental stays instrumental.
