Both "eave" and "eve" are correct English words, but they possess completely different meanings and spellings, making them homophones that cannot be interchanged. An "eave" (usually pluralized as eaves) refers to the lower overhanging edge of a roof. In contrast, "eve" refers to the evening or the day immediately preceding a major holiday or historical event, such as Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve. Context, spelling, and grammar dictate which word is appropriate for your sentence.
