Ways to tell them apart:

etymology
  • Lifes is often an incorrect plural form of life. Remember, life becomes lives in plural, like knife becomes knives.
  • Lives can mean more than one life or it is also the third person singular form of the verb to live.
  • If you are talking about more than one life, think of lives as you would leaves from leaf: both change the f to v and add es.
