            String first = ins.readLine(); //read from file
            while(first != null){
                System.out.print("Type in a word to follow " + first + ":");
                String second = con.readLine(); //read from console
                //append and write 
                outs.println(first+ ", " + second);
                first = ins.readLine(); //read from file
            }
            ins.close();
            outs.close();
        }
        catch (IOException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace(System.err);
            System.exit(1);
            }

        }
    }
}

You appear to have too many braces. You can delete the last } character to make this code compile.
