Assuming you are talking about a noun that becomes a plural with the addition of 's'.
- any word with a doubled f at the end - puffs, snuffs, cuffs, toffs, cliffs, etc.
- some words can go either way: dwarfs or dwarves, for instance.

usually you chAnge it to a "v" like leaf to leaves
The spelling rule of changing a final "f" to "v" and adding "es" when making a noun plural helps ensure proper pronunciation. When you add an "s" to words that end in "f," often the pronunciation becomes awkward, so changing it to "v" helps maintain the sound of the word.
Yourself-yourselves
Fluff. If you want to say he fluffs his tail, you don't have to change it to an 'ves.' This could possibly be because it's a verb and not the plural form of a noun, however.
plural nouns are nouns that tell a person place thing or idea
Words like half (halves), wife (wives), dwarf (dwarves), hoof (hooves).
When a word ends in "f" or "fe," you usually change the "f" to "v" before adding suffixes like -s, -ed, -er, -est. Examples: "knife" becomes "knives," "wife" becomes "wives," "life" becomes "lives."
English words typically don't end with the letter "v" due to the phonetic and historical development of the language. In Old and Middle English, the use of "v" at the end of words was uncommon, and it has largely remained that way. Instead, English often employs other letters, such as "f" or "ve," to convey similar sounds at the end of words. As a result, while there are exceptions in borrowed terms or proper nouns, standard English vocabulary avoids terminal "v."
