Question Calling Patterns of ".*" from a file

I used to create a file to read my patterns and call them with grep but now I want to use different sort of patterns and it does not work with a list on a accept file
Code:
Grep –F  –f acceptfile.txt mainfile.txt > outputfile.txt

I have a data like this as they are in sequence of 5
The box of tissues out of
The book, the pen and the

I have a list of words (the, of, and) and I am looking for a pattern of
The.* the
The.* of
The.* and
.
.
.

note: I seem to have problem with of and off and coffee as well Smilie


Basically a loop to go through each of them one by one…
Not sure if that’s possible but even if not I am more than happy to predefine all my patterns in the file
But now that I put that patterns in the file and call them, the output file is empty
Can you tell me what am I doing wrong ?
Thank you in advance
A-V

IBUS-TABLE-CREATEDB(1)													    IBUS-TABLE-CREATEDB(1)

NAME
ibus-table-createdb - create ibus-table database from table source SYNOPSIS
ibus-table-createdb [ [ -n name ] [ --name name ] ] [ [ -s source ] [ --source source ] ] [ [ -e extra ] [ --extra extra ] ] [ [ -p pinyin ] [ --pinyin pinyin ] ] [ -o ] [ --no-create-index ] [ -i ] [ --create-index-only ] [ -d ] [ --debug ] DESCRIPTION
ibus-table-createdb creates a database for ibus-table from a source table. OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. -n database-file specifies the file name for the binary database for the IME. The default is ''. If the file name of the database is not specified, the file name of the source file before the first '.' will be appended with '.db' and that will be used as the file name of the database. -s source-file specifies the file which contains the source of the IME. The default is ''. -e extra-words-file specifies the file name for the extra words for the IME. The default is ''. -p pinyin-file specifies the source file for the pinyin. The default is '/usr/share/ibus-table/data/pinyin_table.txt.bz2'. -o Do not create an index for a database (Only for distribution purposes, a normal user should not use this flag!) -i Only create an index for an existing database. Specifying the file name of the binary database with the -n or --name option is required when this option is used. -d Print extra debug messages. EXAMPLES
ibus-table-createdb -n ipa-x-sampa.db -s ipa-x-sampa.txt Create the binary database ``ipa-x-sampa.db'' from the source file ``ipa-x-sampa.txt''. ibus-table-createdb -i -n ipa-x-sampa.db Create an index for the database ``ipa-x-sampa.db''. AUTHOR
