girls are young women. Woman is the adult form of girl. Lady is a term with a certain emotion to it: it is a polite term for a woman you respect. In the past it meant a noblewoman.

She is Girl when she is dating. She is lady when someone is proposing. She is a women when that ‘someone’ is looking at another ‘girl’.

girl - 0 to 19 yrs old lady - 20 - 29 yrs old woman - 30 and above (in my own opinion ofc)

i think the difference of the three is girls are used for females under 18 ladies is a way of respect like madam and women is 30 and older

Girls are young. Under 20 I'd say, although around 18 and 19 is iffy. A woman is a grown up girl. A lady is a woman with class. Being a female does not make you a lady.

Girl: a female who is not physically mature, so about 14 or under. Some people use "girl" for any teenager; other people refer to "teen women" when they want to talk about teens who are physically capable of being pregnant. Woman: Any female over 18, and, as noted, some people use "teen woman" to cover biologically mature girls under 18. Lady: it used to mean noblewoman; then it meant any woman with a certain amount of money; and for the past 100 years in the U.S., it has meant a woman with good manners, or, sometimes, a woman who sticks to traditional gender roles. It is usually a term of respect; however, a very small minority of women consider it an insult, a way of patronizing them, of giving them social value for the wrong reason (example: for meeting arbitrary standards of behavior, beauty, and deference to men) and a way of denying them social and/or legal equality with men. I am a woman, not a lady, myself. But seriously, there's only a very very small minority of women who feel this way, and you're usually safe referring to a woman as a lady.
