Suppose am having the PF value .8, so how can we say that
is it lagging or leading?

Answer Posted / raveendran.p

Pf is usually spelt as 0.8 lagging or 0.8 leading. There is
error in telling otherwise. However relatively 0.8 can be
assumed as lagging since lagging pf is commonly encountered
in power systems. Leading pf mostly will be stated
explicitely.
