I'm having a very hard time, usually when the man is speaking, hearing the difference between the -y ending and the -e ending. Are the words "duży" and "duże" supposed to sound so similar?
If in an "X is Y" sentence Y is just an adjective, it stays in Nominative. A noun phrase would take Instrumental (Lew jest dużym zwierzęciem).

I think that nothing will explain it in more detail than Wikipedia.
