In the sentence below:
Phoebus filium monet, sed puer magna pericula non videt.
I see why filius is in the accusative (it is the d.o. of monet) but in the second half of the sentence, puer and pericula are both nominative. Wouldn't pericula be accusative, as it is what I would think be the d.o. of videt?
Missing accusative?

Wrong gender
Deses- thank you. I had it in my head that pericula was feminine. So I was declining it wrong. This example shows me that I need to be more on top of the gender of nounds from this point on. Thanks again.
