Do you remember the singular dative pronouns?

I feel like I've heard "dative" so many times already...

I know, but it's part of learning any language. Here are the singular pronouns I mean:

mir

dir

ihm

ihr

And what do I use them for again? My head hurts...

I'll give you a refresher, sit back and relax:

1. We use the dative for indirect objects:

Ich habe ihnen eine E-mail geschickt.

I sent them an e-mail.

2. We use them with dative verbs like: helfen, gefallen, passieren.

Sie hilft uns.

She helps us.

3. After the dative prepositions: bei, mit, seit, aus, zu, nach, von.

Ich komme mit euch.

I'll come with you (plural).

Thanks, now I'm following you. What about the plural ones?
