How to use Desu? 

Today's lesson is です.

です is copula indicating assertion or judgement.

and it is equivalent to is/are/Am/ in English.

I made a lesson video about desu.

it's easy to understand and check the pronunciation.

On top of that, it has a cute cartoon using desu.

go ahead and check it.

です is always placed at the end of the sentence.

きょうははれです。kyou wa hare desu.

Let's break down the sentence.

きょう means today
は is particle wa which indicates the topic of the sentence,
in this case kyou is the topic.
はれ means sunny
です is copula which work as a predicate.
はれです is predicate of the sentence.

So,  きょうははれです means

Literary; Today sunny is.

You'd say 
It is sunny today.

Think simply

just add です to a noun or いform adjective

E.g.

いぬです (it) is (a) dog
