When to use 是...的 for Sure, Firm Opinions
Besides pointing to the time, place or way of a past event, 是…的 has a second job: it frames the speaker’s opinion or attitude and makes it sound sure, as if to say “believe me, it really is so.” Put 是 before the judgment and 的 at the end of it: 这个问题是可以解决的 “This problem can be solved, for sure.” The judgment is often a modal verb + verb (能/会/可以/应该…), or an adjective phrase: 这样做是不对的 “Doing it this way is wrong.” Without 是…的 the sentence means about the same, but sounds less firm. The time can be past, present or future.

흔한 실수
- Don’t drop 的 at the end: 他是不会忘的, not 他是不会忘.
- Put the negative inside the frame: 是不会…的, not 不是会…的.
- This 是…的 isn’t only for the past: 他是不会来的 is about the future.
