For Past Tense:

Conjugate a verb to past tense, and then stick "んです" after it, and it makes it far more polite, especially when asking a question. Great for asking something, but is far less then direct then just asking point blank.

A: 旅行に行ったんですか?

B: 旅行に行ったんですよ?

For Present Tense:

For present and future tense, just use the regular verb, no conjugation, and stick んです after it. Same meaning.

A: 旅行にいくんですか?

B: 旅行にいくんです

For Negative:

Conjugate the verb into regular negative tense, and add んです.

お金がないんです -> I don't have any money.

わからないんです -> I don't understand

For Adjectives
