    This phrase is like saying, "I'm sure about this, but please confirm." You use it when you are almost certain. It's not for when you really don't know. Using it then can sound a bit pushy. It's best for checking facts you already think are true.

    This phrase confirms facts. It is different from '〜でよろしいでしょうか'. That phrase asks for someone's approval. It is also different from '〜でよろしかったでしょうか'. That phrase asks about something decided in the past.

    Use this when you want to check information. You are mostly sure it is correct. You ask someone else to confirm it. This shows you are careful. It also shows respect to them.

    〜です / 〜でした

    This word means 'is' or 'am'. It connects two things. It makes your sentence polite.
