Consider this sentence:
你是美国人。
This means "You are American".

Now consider this sentence:
你是美国人吗?
With this question tag added, this sentence means "Are you American?" which is a yes-or-no question.
Diff:
- 嗎 吗 [ma5] /(question tag)/
# + 嗎 吗 [ma5] /(question tag for "yes-or-no" questions)/
+ 嗎 吗 [ma5] /(question particle for "yes-no" questions)/
