    so Most of the time not knowing X results in genitive case?

      not doing anything usually results in genitive case.

      negation means direct object changes from accusative to genitive.

        Yes, all negative sentences use genitive (dopełniacz)

          Not all, only accusative changes to genitive. The rest of cases stay as they were.
