Can someone explain to me the concept of こと and how to use it?
I've seen こと quite a few times, but I have a hard time understanding what it means, and how it's used in sentences.

Here are how to use こと in the sentences.
Talking in English is hard for me.
英語で話すことは私にとって難しいです(えいごではなすことはわたしにとってむずかしいです)。
talk --> talking (話す --> 話すこと)
Walking everyday is good for health.
毎日歩くことは健康のために良いです(まいにちあるくことはけんこうのためによいです)。
walk --> walking (歩く --> 歩くこと)
I like watching movies. 私は映画を見ることが好きです(わたしはえいがをみることがすきです)。
watch --> watching (見る --> 見ること)
*Sometimes "to + verb" is also translated 〜(する)こと.
I hope this helps you.
