How do I ask the following question correctly and smoothly?
I wonder how can I say the following things.
"Is the light that turns on when I push the break pedal the break lamp?"
It sounds odd to me. But I have no one to correct me. It's a frequent english problem to me because my native language has usually a long subjects when making an interogative. Please help me out.
My alternative is "The light that turns on when I push the break pedal is the break lamp, isn't it?", "Is the break lamp the one that turns on when I push the break pedal?", or "The one that turns on when I push the break pedal, is it the break lamp?"

Answer

I like your first example the best except that it's 'Brake'.  Many ways to say what u want to say.
How bout, "The light that goes on when I press/step on the brakes is the brake light isn't it?"

Answer

Is it the brake lamp that turns on when I step the brake pedal?

Answer

Your first one is right, but you need a minor pause when you say it, which is represented by a comma.
Is the light that turns on when I push the brake pedal, the break light?
