是不是 + 不是?
I have been very confused about these two.
If I wanted to say, "They are not students", is it grammatically correct to say, "他们是不是学生" or "他们不是学生"?
Is this also the same for 有没有 and 没有?
Thankyou!

From what I understand, "是不是" carries the same meaning of "吗". So like the other user said, it is used when asking a question. eg. 你是不是澳大利亚人? is the same as 你是澳大利亚人吗？
However "不是" means essentially means not. So, 我不是中国人.
(If I'm wrong, everyone feel free to correct me)

First of all, you should know what does 是 , 不是 and 是不是 mean.
In the Q & A sentence, 是 means affirmative answer.
不是 means negative answer.
是不是 is for question.
For example:
Q: 你是不是学生？ Are you a student?
A1: 我是学生. I am a student. (affirmative answer)
A2: 我不是学生. I am not a student. (negative)
我是老师. I am a teacher.
有没有 is used in the same way.

They are not students =他们不是学生
Are they students?=他们是不是学生,and This sentence is a interrogative sentence

When a sentence end by "吗”， it is a question sentence.
Therefore, "Are you a Chinese?" = 你是中国人吗？
= 你是不是中国人？
“Are you not a Chinese?" = 你不是中国人吗？--> It is usually used when ask a question in reply or a rhetorical question.
Do you notice? When a question sentence use "是不是”, there is unnecessary ending by ”吗“. Because "是不是” is already a question sentence.
