AはBですか? / A is B? (question sentence)
AはBです
We learned this grammer already in the previous post. it means "A is B.". Next let's make the question form of it.
AはBですか?
I just put "か" at the end of "A is B" sentence. It makes the sentence the question form. So, this means "A is B? (Is A B?)" in Enlgish.
あなたは にほんじん です
It means "You are a Japanese." in positive form. "あなた/you, にほんじん/Japanese person". And, put "が" at the end of this, you can make this a question form.
あなたは にほんじん です か?
It means "Are you a Japanese?".
