why is it fais instead of fait

Another verb + preposition question.  Why is it "rester à les regarder" instead of "rester pour les regarder"?

Ce jour-là tu as retenu la parole.

and the only accepted answer was:

Ce jour-là tu as retenu parole.

Could someone advise on why the former is incorrect? Is it idiomatic?

thanks

An example  is : Vous avez abattu la victime de sang froid with the translation : You shot down the victim in cold blood. Does abattre imply shooting, or would attacked,assaulted,slaughtered or killed be correct ?  

This sentence was an example:  Tu as failli y rester.   The translation was you almost died.

Couldn't it also be Tu as failli mourir?

Quelle est la différence entre “Je vais” et “Je m’en vais”?
