(으)ㄴ/는/(으)ㄹ 것
Used to turn an action verb into a noun.
It is the most common and conversational form. Use this if you are unsure, even if it's not the correct one people will understand they may just pause a moment.
You may notice that it uses the noun modifier form and combines it with 것 which means thing. So it's literal meaning is "the thing that verb."
