Yes, do provide examples of data. Also, theawkcode you show will count words (by default these would be whitespace delimited strings) on the current line, not necessarily in a sentence.

FNR = File Number Record, is the current line number in the context of the current file
NR = Number Record, is the line number total
Passing both files to awk and using a comparison to detect the file change, this is going to store the line number of file1 in an array if the Field Number is less than 20 and print the line of file2 if it is in the array
awk 'FNR==NRif (NF<20) lines[NR]="1"; nextif (FNR in lines) print' file1 file2
