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.
