Wow i can see your pain through your note. First of all we make noun to verb, noun is a basic word, so it is not exactly we are changing verb to noun. It is actually switching noun to noun. And second, you were saying "why a verb would need to be used as a noun. or verb ending "-ing" But think about "singing" "singing" could be "-고 있어요" but also it is a meaning of "the act of doing something" that is why we are using "-기& -는 것" And last, i can hardly understand the rest of questions, but your semples were correct.

All the above are verbs. They can be used for adjectives too, but the form becomes a little different. It is because adjectives by definition can only mean a state, and thus cannot have the present action form of -는. Adjective's present tense form is -ㄴ/은, and the past form is -(았/었)던. Their future is -ㄹ/을, similar to the verbs'. - example of 길다 (long). 긴 (present): 긴 휴가: long vacation. **predicate: 휴가가 길다. 길었던 (past): 길었던 휴가: vacation that was long. **predicate: 휴가가 길었다. 길 (future): 길 휴가: vacation that will be long. **predicate: 휴가가 길 것이다. - 짧다 (short): 짧은 / 짧았던 / 짧을 ** 짧다 / 짧았다 / 짧을 것이다 - 좋다 (good): 좋은 / 좋았던 / 좋을 ** 좋다 / 좋았다 / 좋을 것이다 * sentence examples - verb: - 내가 보는 책은 소설책이다: The book I am reading is a novel. - 내가 한 일은 잘 되었다: The work I did turned out well. - 내가 갈 곳은 인천이다: The place I will be going to is Incheon. * sentence examples - adjective: - 그가 하고 싶은 것은 음악이다: What he likes to do is music. - 제일 더웠던 달은 6월이었다: The warmest month was July. - 더 좋을 수는 없다: It will never get any better (than this).

"You are confusing me" -> present progressive. "You are confusing" -> adjective

Furthermore, besides being used in the present progressive and nouns, "-ing" is used in other ways as well. You MUST pay attention to the meaning. Ex. "this all seems confusing" -> confusing ends in -ing but is an adjective. "I am sitting down" -> sitting ends in -ing, but this sentence could mean two different things. (1) you are in the process of lowering your body into a seat or (2) you have already lowered your body into a seat and you are now seated (in the state of being seated). So the fourth use then is to show a state, which makes it pretty much an adjective again then since it's descriptive. 1. Present progressive (Verbs) 2. Nouns 3. Adjectives

Read your own post. "So I am learning about turning verbs into noun form..." Learning and turning both end in -ing, but you're using them in two different ways. "I am learning" is the present progressive (to be Ving). The -ing here is part of a verb. "about turning" is using a verb as a noun. 고 있다 is used for the present progressive. You can easily tell if it's the present progressive or not simply by looking for some form of "be" before the verb-ing in the English form. ex. "I am singing." -> present progressive (고 있다). "I like singing." -> noun form (는 것). "I was looking at his picture the other day." -> present progressive. "Looking at his picture makes me sad." -> noun form. This is more of a matter of knowing grammar period, regardless of which language we're discussing. I suggest brushing up on and understanding basic English grammar to help in your studies. I have a love of grammar, and I think everyone should study not only the grammar of their target language, but understand their native language's grammar too. You don't have to be super advanced in it, but a basic understanding is great.
