nominalizing an action or sentence

dictionary-form verb/ない形 + こと

こと nominalizes an action or clause so it can act like a noun with particles or as a subject/object.

It commonly follows plain forms such as dictionary, ない, and た forms.

早く寝ることは大切です。

Going to bed early is important.

こと is for abstract actions or matters; do not use it for concrete objects.

Verb + こと turns it into 'the act/matter of doing.'
