I agree 😂 I think it must be because it’s easier for native English speakers to grasp as the grammar for that type of sentence translates word-for-word!
Adding です (desu) to the end makes the sentence polite. It’s a more formal way of forming the sentence. If you say the same thing, e.g. これはペン (kore wa pen) without adding です (desu), it still means “this is a pen”, but it’s more casual 😊
"This is a pen" must be standard Nihongo teaching sentence! Every textbook and teacher uses it! LoL!

Why do they finish after the word with desu? Thx
