In the example :
The bouquet of flowers was a giving of love.
I am not able to understand why the above sentence is wrong. Can somebody please explain.
Thanks in advance.

you don't say giving of love. You say gift of love. So the correct sentence is "The bouquet of flowers was a gift of love"
Hope this helps
