nominalizing an action

verbplain form + の

の can nominalize an action or clause so it can act as a subject, object, or evaluated item.

It is common in speech and often feels more situation-specific than こと.

朝早く起きるのは大変です。

Getting up early is hard.

With nouns and na-adjectives in explanatory use, なの is often needed.

Memorize “ +の +” as one fixed chunk, then practice by replacing words in the example sentence. Learn the connection first, then the nuance.
