It is not necessarily incorrect to end a sentence with the word "is", although such a sentence will often sound better when reworded. "Is" is a linking verb and doesn't really carry much of its own information. For this reason ending a sentence with "is" can make the sentence weaker.
For example, the sentence
"I have found that powerful is what the government is."
This would technically not be incorrect. But a much stronger sentence can be constructed by rearranging the sentence and removing the "is" from the end.
"I have found that the government is powerful."
This sentence is also much less awkward.
So, generally speaking, avoid ending a sentence with "is", though doing so is not necessarily incorrect grammar.

∙ 8y agoYes, it is grammatically correct to end a sentence with the verb "is".
Examples:
"Could you tell me what time it is?" (grammatically correct and actually more polite and less abrupt than "What time is it?")
"Is Mary coming with us?" "Yes, she is."
"I know there's a reason, but I don't know what it is."
