When a color-changing leaf first falls from a tree in autumn, it represents a beautiful reminder of the cycles inherent in nature. It’s also a sign that many more soon may fall and you should probably find a rake.
As you gather one leaf after another, what word do you use to identify the growing number? In other words, what is the plural of leaf?
We’ll answer that question and explain the logic behind it. That way, you’ll know both the rule about pluralizing leaf and the grammatical principles behind it.
The Plural Version of the Word Leaf
The plural of leaf is leaves.
Although many English words can change from singular to plural by simply adding an “s” to the end, some follow nonstandard conventions. In many cases, the differences concern spelling or pronunciation. This is particularly true for words ending in “f” or “fe.”
For example, consider the following:
Leaf becomes leaves.
Knife becomes knives.
Scarf becomes scarves.
In these cases, it’s easy to understand why each word’s pluralized version would change. The incorrect versions—leafs, knifes, and scarfs—are more difficult to enunciate because the transition from “f” to “s” is softer. We change the plural endings to “ves” to make the words more distinguished and clear.
At the same time, this treatment has exceptions. There are words ending with “f” or “fe” that are pluralized with just an “s”:
Giraffe becomes giraffes.
Roof becomes roofs.
Sheriff becomes sheriffs.
Why don’t we have the words giraves, rooves, and sherrives? In cases such as these, the reason once again comes down to effective enunciation. The plurals of these words sound clearer with the softer transition from singular to plural.
How to Learn Unusual Pluralization Rules in American English
Our modern language is still always growing and changing even as it has borrowed and secured words from many different roots and languages. That makes our writing and speaking patterns dynamic, but it can also make them a little more tricky to master.
The best way to enhance your writing, proofing, and editing skills is to simply follow guidelines such as those we’ve discussed and then put the principles into practice. For example, you could write five sentences using the singular leaf and then another five using the plural leaves. If you make such a practice a habit, you’ll sense improvement in your spelling and grammar, even if it’s just a few minutes a day.

The correct way to spell the plural of ‘leaf’ is ‘leaves’, if you are talking about the definition of leaf as a noun.
Leaves is the grammatically correct way to spell the plural word of the noun leaf
We can use leafs, only if we add the apostrophe which indicates possession as ‘leaf’s’. That is, something belongs to the leaf, however, grammatically speaking the correct way to spell it is leaves, if you are referring to there being more than one leaf. This is because many nouns that end in «f», most of the time have «ves» changed and added towards the end, replacing the «f» ending.
There are however some instances where «leafs» is used when «leaf» is used as a verb (the act of flipping a page). Even though, it is not commonly used, it is still worth noting that in this case it would be appropriate to use to indicate that «she/he leafs through the book».
Examples of how to use the plural tense ‘leaves’ as a noun:
-
Fall has just begun, you can see all the leaves change color
-
It is such a hassle having to pick up all of the leaves on my porch every morning.
The plural tense of «leaf» should be pronounced as «leaves»
However, even though it is grammatically incorrect sometimes we also tend to pronounce it as «leafs», but it should always be spelled out as «leaves».
The plural of the word “leaf” is “leaves.” The NHL team in Toronto is properly the “Maple Leafs.” I suppose what they’re telling us is that they’re multiple avatars of the Maple Leaf symbol, not a bushel of leaves of the botanical variety. My online dictionary gives “leafs” as an acceptable secondary spelling, but I don’t buy it.
What is the plural of the leaf? Is it leaves or leaves?
“Leaf” is the singular form for the foliage that is growing off the twig in a tree, bush, and other plants. The plural of “leaf” is “leaves.” There is no such form as leafs; however, by using an apostrophe, you will the singular possessive form for “leaf.”

plural — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — -leaves Ex: The leaves on the tree are covered with snow.
singular possessive — — — — — — leaf’s Ex: That leaf’s stem is curling a bit.
plural possessive — — — — — — — — leaves’ Ex: Those leaves’ stems are curling somewhat.
Why we use leaves as plural of leaf?
Answers: We use leaves as plural of leaf, because there is a rule in English grammar that several nouns ending in — f or — fe form their plural by changing -for — fe into ‘v’ and adding — es; as,
Leaf, leaves / thief, thieves / wife, wives / wolf, wolves / shelf, shelves /knife, knives / calf, calve / life, lives / loaf, loaves.
Why is plural form of leaf (leaves)?
«What is the plural of leaf? Is it leafs or leaves?»
Wow! Seventy people have already answered this question! Well, I’ve skimmed through quite a lot of the answers and I think maybe I can actually add something to the conversation. Let’s see…
As many have already explained, when you are referring to a «leaf» that grows on a plant, the plural is «leaves» (just as many other nouns that end with «f» change the «f» to «v» and add «es.»)
Now that we have that obvious answer out of the way, lets think about other uses of «leaf/leaves.» The thing is, we don’t always use “leaf” as a noun.
Leafs vs. Leaves!
Pronunciation
This issue is both a pronunciation and a grammar issue.
Leaves has a ‘v’ sound which is just the voiced version of ‘f.’
Grammar
The grammar is interesting here. Most of the time somebody says ‘leafs’ they’re using it incorrectly.
Leaves is both the plural of the word ‘leaf’ as well as a form of the verb ‘to leave.’
An interesting note is that ‘to leaf’ is also a verb. It means to quickly look through many pages or different papers. One of the forms of this verb is also ‘leafs.’
Example Time!
1) The leaves are falling from the tree
2) Dad leaves for work at 7:00 in the morning.
3) She leafs through the pages of the book to get an idea of what it’s about.
In conclusion
If you forget the rules, it’s probably always ‘leaves.’ We don’t use the word ‘leafs’ very often.
The difference between Leafs and leaves.
Leaves
As a noun, a leaf is a small, green and flat part of a plant that grows directly from a branch, trunk or root. It is the main organ of photosynthesis and transpiration. Its plural is leaves.
Leafs
As a verb, leaf is to put out new leaves. It may also mean to turn over the pages of a book or the papers in a pile, reading them quickly or casually.
Examples in sentences of both the leafs and leaves
1. He begged to leave after plucking several leaves.
-
He leafs through a stack of notes.
-
It leafs immediately it rains.
Conclusion
It is therefore obvious that leafs is a verb of which the ‘s’ used can only be included when talking about pronouns in third person singular form, that is he, she, it or a single name.
Leaves is the plural form of the noun leaf and as such, their usage are different as shown in the above examples.
Leaf and leaves
This is a spelling rule for nouns in English
If the noun ends in an — f or -fe, in the plural it changes to -ves
Singular — F
Plural — VES
Other examples which behave similarly
1 wife — 2 wives
1 wolf — 2 wolves
1 knife — 2 knives
1 life — 2 lives
1 loaf of bread — 2 loaves of bread
Exceptions to the rule
1 roof — 2 roofs
I have a big house, it has 2 roofs.
1 chief — 2 chiefs
There are 2 chiefs in the village
1 chef — 2 chefs
There are 2 chefs in this kitchen
Some nouns can take both endings — both are correct
I scarf — 2 scarfs or 2 scarves
She was wearing 2 scarfs/ scarves because it was so cold
Remember your verb — noun agreement
This knife is sharp
These knives are sharp
This loaf of bread is fresh
These loaves are not fresh
The difference between leafs and leave
Leaf as a noun refers to the wide, narrow, big or small green parts of a plant or a tree, that usually falls down in autumn (fall).
Example:
This tree is very big, it has so many levels, so it makes big shadow.
Plural of leaf is leaves, never leafs.
However, it can refer to a verb as well.
When we use leaf as a verb it refers to the growth of the leaves on a plant.
Example:
It is springtime. Many trees start to leaf and blossom.
Leaf as a verb can also mean to turn over pages in a book. So if we use the verb for the third person singular (he, she, it) in Present Simple, then the form will be leafs.
Marry leafs the pages of the book so fast, to show her method of skimming and scaning a book.
Leafs or leaves what is the difference
The word LEAF is the green, flat part of a tree or plant, usually hanging below the flower or on the branch.
LEAF is the singular form of the word
LEAVES are the plural form of the word
The word LEAF/ LEAVES are both NOUNS
The word “leafs” is NOT a real word.
You can add an apostrophe to the word leaf, making it «leaf’s», to indicate that is something belonging to the leaf or part of the leaf. Showing ownership
Firstly – use apostrophe “s” when the word is SINGULAR.
I.e., Leaf’s
Example:
How are veins important to the leaf’s function?
Secondly – use “s” to make the noun plural, then apostrophe when the word is PLURAL.
I.e., Leaves’
Example:
How are veins important to the leaves’ function?
Now you understand it better, I hope?
Now please «leaf» me alone!! 😂😂
I will make it poetic
So the meanings of these two you can easily pick
One day ONE LEAF fell on my feet
I looked up at the tree
and stared at the green LEAVES in glee
I call it Leaves instead of leafs
For it’s the plural of one leaf I see,
You may wonder why not leafs
Coz of the rules of English that you believe
That’s because Leafs in the dictionary does not exist
So Leafs instead of Leaves we should not insist.
