While I'm working on the "Russian Cases" course, here are the endings of nouns in the prepositional case, for your quick reference.

[myadventuresinrussian]

When to Use What Case

Nom- naming things/subject (что/кто/это)

Prep- where/about (где/о чём)

Gen- possession/of, where from (откуда)

Acc- direct object, direction after verbs of motion (where to [куда])

Dat- indirect object (кому)

Instr- instrument that performs action/with (с кем)

This list is not comprehensive. I’ve included some of the questions that can be used with them, but none of the prepositions. There is also ways to use the cases that are not included, I do not know all of them. Also, I have neglected putting examples; I will come up with some eventually.

Prepositional Case

aka prep aka to tell where something is.

For nouns, add the preposition в (in/at) before the noun or if the noun is an exception to the rule the preposition is на.

The ending for all changes to е.

So, in the dictionary (словарь) would become в словаре. In the kitchen (кухня) would become в кухне. In the sea (море) would become в море.

An exception to this rule comes when the noun ends in ий, ия, or ие. 

For every one of these the last letter changes to и, not е.

So, кафетерий (cafeteria) becomes в кафетерии, лаборатория (laboratory) becomes в  лаборатории, and общежитие (dorm) becomes в общежитии.

The preposition о, об, обо all refer to about.

Plurals

because, of course they have to have a different form

The ending is ах or ях, depending on whether or not the nom ending is soft.

So, банк (bank) becomes о банках, музей (museum) becomes о музеях, окно (window) becomes об окнах, and карта (map) becomes о картах.

Adjectives

masc- ом, новый becomes новом

fem- ой, новая becomes новой

neut- ом, новое becomes новом

plur- ых,, молодые becomes о молодых

Pronouns

Possessive and Demonstrative

they go in the order of masc, fem, plural

masc and neuter- этом/том

fem- этой/той

plural- об этих

my- моём/моей/о моих

informal you will also follow this model

our- нашем/нашей

formal you applies too

whose- чьём/чьей/о чьих

his- его*

hers- её*

their- их*

Personal

я- обо мне

ты- о тебе

он/оно- о нём

она- о ней

мы- о нас

вы- о вас

они- о них

Interrogative

about whom- о ком 

about what- о чём

That’s all that I know, but there’s probably more.

* I’m like 90% positive about this.
