The usage of 是.......的.
Ok, so recently I've been wondering about sentences that end with the word '的'. I've looked at a few grammar books, and they basically say that this structure is used to focus on a detail of an event, with ‘的’ usually being used for past events and being omitted for events in the present.
An example of this sentence structure I have seen is:
- "你的车是什么颜色的?”
- ”是红色的“
So, I was wondering, why is do these sentences end with ’的‘?
