Do LLM's parse language to understand it, or is entirely pattern matching from training data?

i.e. do the programmers teach it English is it 100% from training?

Because if they don't teach it English it would need to find some kind of similar pattern in existing text, and then know how to use it to modify responses, and I don't understand how it's able to do that.

For example: "Always focus on the key points in my questions to determine my intent." How is it supposed to pattern match from that sentence (i.e. finding it in training data) to the key points in the question?
