[Python] Python return elif statement

Im trying to check is the number passed is a valid perfect square by

return True if(math.sqrt(num)%2 == 0 or \
(math.sqrt(num)+1) % 2 == 0 ) else False


I want to know if I could write this better by breaking the if statement into two parts like

return True if(math.sqrt(num)%2 == 0)
elif ((math.sqrt(num)+1) % 2 == 0 )
else False


Could someone help me with how to use elif here or if there is a better approach.

Thank you.
