Ex:
The cat stayed outside all day.
Let's go inside for dinner.
What do you think?
Thanks!

La kato restis subĉiele la tutan tagon / The cat stayed outdoors, in nature, all day
La kato restis ekstere la tutan tagon / The cat stayed outside (of something, maybe outside the house but still went into other houses) all day
Ni iru internen por vespermanĝi / Let's go inside (the building, maybe a restaurant) for dinner
Ni iru enhejmen por vespermanĝi / Let’s go inside (the home) for dinner
Ni iru interne por vespermanĝi / Let’s go do-something-inside for dinner (because there is no accusative -n)
???
PS Why is it “la tutan tagon” instead of “la tuta tago”, or “dum la tuta tago”? Does the -n make it so you don’t need to add “dum”?

"La unuan de septembro je 8:00 (oka horo) [matene]" - in this case use -n for date and "je" for time.
"De 8:00 ĝis 17:00" - to say interval.

OFR185683:Interesting! Thanks for explaining! How does this have to do with being a direct object though? Because isn't -n for direct objects?The ending -n isn't for direct objects only. It marks the accusative case.
Now the accusative case has several uses:
- Direct object: Mi perdis la tutan tagon.
- Duration of time: Mi ripozis la tutan tagon.
- Measurement: Tiu afiŝo estas 500 vortojn longa.
- Direction of movement: La kato kuris en la ĝardenon.
- And maybe some others I forgot.
