As a total beginner I noticed that sometimes simple sentences end with ます and sometimes with です. What is the difference?
Thanks

Another beginner answering here.
ます is a (polite) verb ending. The verb to eat (食べる) for example can be conjugated to 食べます, which can be used in polite speech.
です is a state of being, also to be used in polite conversations and can be roughly translated as a conjugated "to be". Example: 私はドイツ人です (I'm German)
