A note about Dative and Prepositional Case synchronism:
Endings for FEMININE nouns (and pronouns and adjectives) in the Dative Case are identical to their endings in the Prepositional Case. For nouns, this ending is usually -е, like you saw in the slideshow. However, if you recall, there are feminine nouns that end in -ия, like Россия or names, like Мария. Just as you would with Prepositional Case, drop the -я and add -и:
- Росси́я > по Росси́и
- Мари́я >> к Мари́и.
