On another sentence I saw the tip that musxo (I can't use the actual letter, which would be a better example) has a little fly over the S!

"Mushi" means "bug" in Japanese. There you all is a good'n mnemonic device

When a noun is the direct object of a sentence, you add an n after the o. This is called the accusative. kato=subject kaptas=verb muson=direct object (receiving the action done by the subject directly)

Muso is nominative, or subject, and muson is accusative, or object.

My English isn't that good. What does the nominative and the accusative mean?

The nominative is the subject of the sentence, or the thing that does the action. The accusative is the direct object of the sentence, or the thing that receives the action of the verb done by the subject.
Autocorrect hates me. "Cats his" used to be catches before I pressed enter...

Why isn't "La kato kaptas la musoj" correct? How do I distinguish "the cat catches the mouse" from "the cat catches the mice" from "the cats catch the mouse" and so on? I am a bit confused

The cat catches the mouse=la kato kaptas la muson. The cat catches the mice=la kato kaptas la musojn. The cats catch the mouse=la katoj kaptas la muson. The cats catch the mice=la katoj kaptas la musojn. If just a j is added to the end, it become a nominative plural. If just an n is added, it becomes an accusative singular. If an j and an n are added, it becomes an accusative plural.
