是不是 (shì bù shì) — (question tag) right?; isn't it? (used at the end of a statement to seek confirmation); (conjunction) whether or not (used to introduce an indirect question or choice); (question particle) used to form a yes-no question (placed after the subject)

是不是 is a versatile yes-no question marker. At the end of a statement it works like a tag question ('right?'), but as 是不是 + verb/phrase it forms a yes-no question by fronting, similar in function to 吗 at the end.

verb
