"책을 쓰는 것은 재미있어요."

Translation: Writing a book is interesting.

I said "Using books is fun." Isn't that also a possibility? LOL.

[KimJuhyeob]

I sometimes use a book as a tray for food.

[SvedishPlumber]

Without more context, you could definitely say so

[HelloMichaelh]

Writing THE book counted as incorrect.

[KimJuhyeob]

'THE' indicates 'specific or fixed thing or things. In that case, 그 is needed.

[ghksgml0712]

Aaahh it marked "fun" as wrong.

[03161127BP]

now it's not

[goawayjezuslmao]

Especially when it's for a 500$ giveaway in Duolingo

[JasonW98]

Selling a book is not.

[03161127BP]

the writing process of a book is harder than you think. believe me.

[Lauren257756]

"writing a book is fun" was counted as wrong...what?

[Rimy273425]

Why book is wrong ????? 책들 books !

[KimJuhyeob]

I think you can't write two books at the same time^^

[Wang_Jackson]

As a writer, I'm laughing.

If there is already an object marker in the -는 것 clause, does that mean that you can only put 은/이 on 것?

[badboogl]

Here is a counterexample to what you're probably thinking: 책을 읽는 것을 싫어합니다.

However, in all honesty, I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.

것 can take whichever maker is necessary to the sentence's meaning (object, subject, or topic).

[badboogl]

It wasn't hard to find the right combination of English words, but most would say "writing books is fun" rather than this awkward translation.

[SuperSizedSmiley]

You're right!

[_.Aniiiiiiiiii._]

I agree
