Nominative.....puella.......the girl
Genitive..........puellae.....of the girl
Dative.............puellae.....to/for the girl
Accusative......puellam.....the girl (direct object)
Ablative..........puella........by/with/from the girl

Genitive..........puellarum...of the girls
Dative.............puellis........to/for the girls
Accusative......puellas.......the girls (direct object)
Ablative..........puellis.........by/with/from the girls
Please note that "the" can be easily interchanged with "a," thus "a girl," "of a girl," etc.
