です after verb? (Seen used with past tense, not んです)
In multiple text-based conversations now I've seen people using です directly after a past tense verb, which I initially thought was a typo but I've just seen it again and now I'm thinking that it wasn't a typo. The times it was like this the verb before it was in past tense, so I'm confused as to what this です is. Is it just a short-hand for のです or something?

Question

Answer

I find many phrases like "行ったです" on the web.
These are grammatically incorrect usage.
"行ったの(ん)です" or "行きました" is correct.

"です" after adjective like "良かったです" was not correct, but now it is allowed.

Answer

To me it seems to be an incorrect short-hand for のです, yes. Something like "would of" and "should of". It is grammatically incorrect, but people use it anyway. But I don't know for sure and hope, that a native speaker will clarify the situation for all of us.

Answer

Hi, do you understand んです? If so, のです and んです are used for the same feeling, however, のです sounds more formal and んです is mote colloquial. As Haggen Kennedy said, it's better to ask with the example sentence because the meaning can be changed depending on the context.

Answer

Hi. Can you provide example(s) of these sentences you saw/heard?
