"Half" is a singular noun that refers to one of two equal parts of something. When we need to refer to more than one of these parts, we use the plural form of the word.
In this case, we add the letters "ves" to the end of "half" to form "halves." This is because "half" is an irregular noun that doesn't follow the standard rule of adding "s" or "es" to the end of a word to make it plural.
Here's an example: If you have two pizzas and you eat half of each one, you would have consumed two halves of pizza. But if you had four pizzas and you ate a half of each one, then you would have eaten two full pizzas (4 halves) or four halves of pizza.
I hope that clears it up for you! Let me know if you have any further questions.
