Hey there! Great question! The plural of roof is actually roofs. It might seem a little strange because the word ends in the letter "F", and usually when we make a noun plural we add an "S" at the end. However, there are a few words in the English language where we add "ves" instead of "s" to make them plural, and "roof" is one of them.
Think of it like this- if you were to have just one roof, you'd say "I have a roof on my house." But if you were to have multiple roofs, you'd say "I have several roofs on my house." The added "ves" lets the reader or listener know that you're talking about more than one roof.
Keep in mind that not all words that end in "F" require the "ves" plural form. For example, "belief" becomes "beliefs", "calf" becomes "calves", and "chief" becomes "chiefs." It's just one of those quirky things about the English language!
I hope that helps answer your question. Let me know if you have any other language-related queries!
