| A は B です。 | A is B. | です is the copula "is". As in English, the copula is both irregular in its
forms and very frequently used.
は (pronounced "wa") is the topic marker and identifies A as what you're describing as being B. |
| A は B では ありません。 | A is not B. | ではありません is the negative copula "is not". |
| A は B ですか。 | Is A B? | か is the interrogative particle. To turn a statement into a question, just add か at the end. |
| A も B です。 | A too is B. A is also B. |
も is a particle that can replace any of は、が、を (topic, subject, object). It means 'in addition' or 'also'. |
