Some words require a partner in a particular form, not just any word that makes sense. Knowing the pattern helps you connect a person, a thing, or another action to that word. Languages may use word endings, small linking words, or particular verb forms; some have no word endings for these links. Unlike Words that go together, What a word requires concerns the form of the connection, not just a usual choice of words.
