습니다/~ㅂ니다 - Used to conjugate verbs in the honorific tense.

습니다 is used when the verb ends with a vowel, ~ㅂ니다 is used when the verb ends with a vowel. 

Ex. 먹습니다 vs 갑니다

 

입니다 is the honorific conjugation of 이다 (to be).

This is supposed to be a question..not an essay..;-P I guess it can be understood as"습니다"is a suffix for verbs but "입니다"is for nouns (Yo) como---저는 먹습니다..Koreans never say"저는 먹입니다"(X) Soy estudiante 저는 학생입니다
