The verb “ 是” can be used to form a pivotal sentence with a double-function word in it. This kind of sentence usually has no subject, and the noun or noun phrase that follows “是”, which is its object, also functions as the subject of the second verb in the sentence. We often use this kind of sentence to describe or explain a situation. The verb “是” is used to emphasize the noun phrase after it (its object).
