there is something called the principles and parameters or universal grammar. they involve all the different combinations for how a language can be.
for example, one is the Null-Subject Parameter.
if it's on, a language can prodrop,(drop a pronoun), like in Spanish how the Yo in Yo Quiero can be dropped to Quiero. If it's off, it's like in English how I is needed in the phrase I want.
I believe there are 14 parameters in total. and they really help for coming up with ideas on how to make a language.
