Verbs to Nouns = plain form+こと?
I would be grateful if someone could help me.
I want to write that someone is good at cooking, singing and playing the accordion. I think I might need to use plain form with こと. I'm not sure if this is correct but, by my attempt is: りようりと うたうと アコーディオンを ひくことが じょうずです。 |

You cannot say うたうと. Unlike りょうり, which is a noun, うたう is a verb. 「りょうりと、うたと、アコーディオンをひくことがじ ょうずです。」 <-- Good and natural. _____ If you really want to practice using こと, you may use it thrice. 「りょうりをすることと、うたうことと、アコーディオ ンをひくことがじょうずです」 <-- Correct but wordy. |
Thank you for the reply, sorry about the double post everyone; it was purely accidental and have since sent a report to a moderator asking for it to be deleted.
May I ask why うた instead of うたう. Is this the result of a grammatical change or is うた being used because it means song? |
Quote:
うた means both "a song" and "singing". |
