の and こと Nominalized Verbs


【Verb dictionary form + こと】

koto can be used as a nominalizer. When “koto” is placed after a verb or a verb phrase, “koto” can turn that verb/verb phrase into what is essentially a long, multi-word noun.


For example:


本を読みます hon o yomimasu means “[someone] reads/will read books.” But,


本を読む事 hon o yomu koto means “the idea/act of [someone] reading books.”


ことKoto quite simply adds “ING” to the end of a verb.


To Eat becomes Eating

たべます tabemasu

たべること taberukoto


To Walk becomes Walking

あるきます arukimasu

あるくこと arukukoto


To Drink becomes Drinking

のみます nomimasu

のむこと nomukoto


こと(KOTO)turns a verb into a noun.

It is an extremely useful thing to use when describing what actions you like or dislike doing.



うどんをたべることがすきです

UDON WO TABERU KOTO GA SUKI DESU

I like “eating” udon


かれはこうえんをあるくことがすきです

KARE WA KOUEN WO ARUKU KOTO GA SUKI DESU.

He likes “walking” in the Park


田中さんがヨーロッパに行ったことを知っていますか?

Tanaka-san san ga youroppa ni itta koto o shitte imasu ka.

Do you know that Mr. Tanaka has gone to Europe?


あしたテストがあることをききましたか?

ashita tesuto ga aru koto o kikimashita ka?

Did you hear that there is a test tomorrow?


【Verb plain style + の】

こと works to nominalize verbs. In this case,こと can be replaced by の.

うどんをたべるのがすきです


かれはこうえんをあるくことがすきです

かれはこうえんをあるくのがすきです
