Do they really make no sense? There are words that don't go like the preposition after request, but I would say that bthe meaning was clear enough in each case.

Thanks for your help,
When I say that they make no sense I mean the nature of words don't make sense because something is missing.

*The instructor suggested the students to study.

The instructor suggested the students to study seems like its missing what what the students should study or the word to does not belong there...

*The customer requested for a fork. The customer requested for a fork looks like the word for does not belong, or there needs to be something he/she requested the fork for.

*After getting home they devoured. what did they devour it requires an object to complete the sentence.

I am confused with how subcatergorization plays a part because I don't understand what sub-catergorization is from reading my text and info online.
