How do I know what case to use with свои? My book hardly explains it. Should I just have it be the case of the words around it?

I got that. How to pick that case, though. Just the same as the object?

Naturally, when you see that some word "agrees" with other, it means that it takes all grammatical attributes of said word. For example, in the phrase "Я не нашёл своих книг" "книг" is in genitive plural, so posessive pronoun "свой" also should be in genitive plural -- "своих".
