Is it

This phrase is correct and is used to seek confirmation or clarification.

'Is it?' is a simple question used to confirm or clarify something that has been said.

Examples:

  • You're coming to the party, is it?
  • The meeting is at 3 pm, is it?
  • You finished the report, is it?
  • The weather is nice today, is it?
