In sentence 1 above, if we ask the question "leaf fell from what?", the answer that comes is "the tree".
So, "tree" is the ablative in the sentence and the noun-form is in ablative case or
paJNchamii vibhakti. Similarly in sentence 4, if we ask the question "where am I coming from?",
the answer that comes is "school".
So, answer to the question "from whom/what/where" is the ablative in the sentence and is
always in ablative case. The verb-form is independent of the number or वचन (vachana)
of the subject or object. Followings are the rules where ablative case is
used.
