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
わたしのしゅみはりょうりをつくることです。
watashi no shumi wa ryouri o tsukuru koto desu.
My hobby is cooking.
When used to nominalize the preceding clause, the nominalized phrase expresses a fact which is already accomplished or which the speaker supposes will be accomplished. koto tends to be taken as an object by verbs of mental activity such as knowing, recognizing, understanding, hoping, learning, etc.
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?
ラオさんが国にかえったことをしっていますか？
Rao san ga kuni ni kaetta koto o shitteimasu ka?
Do you know that Mr. Rao went back to his country?
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?

先生👩🏫 ， after watching this video , I feel こと is a very useful word , is it true that it can be used in an appositive clause ( to make 2 sentences works like an appositive clause) ? Thanks for your help in advance:) 万分感谢

Thank you for your comments!! こと is very very useful ! Are you asking about 「こと」as a meaning of "a.k.a"? If yes, you are right!! We do say 「AことB」!
Thank you so much. Great lesson! The only part I don't understand is when "は" turns into "が". Is it because everything before "こと" become a noun?

Thanks for watching!! Good question! There are many many rules for the usage of "が". In this case, it が is used before certain verbs and adjectives. It is always 「～がすきです、～ができます、～がじょうずです」. I've made a video in the past so please check this one! #13 Learning Japanese - GA-Particle 「～がすきです、～ができます、～がじょうずです」 www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLF4b...
Is this the same for koto ga arimasu? For ex. in "taberu koto ga arimasu" does "taberu koto" become a noun?

No it is not! Dictionary form + koto ga arimasu (or koto mo arimasu) is a different grammar. It means "there are times when; (something) happens on occasions". Often used as an adverb to describe the frequency, such as「ときどき(sometimes)」「たまに(occasionally)」「まれに(rarely)」 Please check this video! kzread.info/dash/bejne/gGhlkrmek7uXcqw.html
Sensei, when we should use 'koto' and 'suru koto' ?

あの帰った人を知っていますか is "Do you know that person who went back? and あの人が帰ったことを知っていますか is "Do you know that that person went back?" So it is a different meaning :)
There it is ryoko, is it ryoko or yoko??

とてもいい質問ですね！「こと」は「の」と同じ意味です！「料理をすることが上手です」は「料理をするのが上手です」と同じです。でも「の」は文章に最後には使えません！例えば、「趣味は料理をする事です」はOKですが、「趣味は料理をするのです」はダメです🙅
