Question

です versus よ
In my Japanese class, we are learning basic level Japanese.  All sentences so far ends with です. On what occaision would one end a sentence with よ?

Answer

There are 2 things.

です makes your sentences respectful. When you're talking to your teacher, boss or someone you don't know, speak with です and you're polite. Or to your friends or family, you can omit です then.

よ is used when you're telling something. Especially when the person you're talking to has wrong ideas about it, you may want to use よ.

Since です and よ are very different, you can use です and よ at the same time. When you're telling something to your teacher, you can say ですよ.
