The Bridge Sentence Method Create a sentence that connects the first two words. To find the pattern, make a simple sentence that links the first pair of words. Then, use that same sentence for the second pair to find the missing word. For example, for 'PUPPY is to DOG', your sentence could be 'A puppy grows up to be a dog.'
