Practise reusable patterns
Choose a pattern, read it in context, and return to it through spaced repetition when it matters.
Intent discovery
What do you want the sentence to do?
Start from a goal such as disagreeing politely or correcting an assumption. Metkagram maps it to a reasoning move and reusable English/German frames.
ChallengeDisagree politelyPush back on a claim without turning the sentence into a confrontation.ReframeCorrect an assumptionReplace a mistaken interpretation with the distinction you actually want to make.ConditionSet a conditionState what has to be true before a result, decision, or action can follow.CauseExplain a causeConnect an outcome to the factor that produced or enabled it.InferDraw a conclusionMove from evidence or observations to a conclusion without presenting it as a raw fact.CompareCompare alternativesPut two options on the same dimension so the contrast becomes useful for a decision.
Reasoning frames
Start from the move you want to make
Choose a reasoning operation first, then learn sentence frames that perform it in English and German.
03CauseExpress a multi-step causal chain and make the intermediate mechanism visible.03ChallengeKeep a possibility open because current evidence does not eliminate it.03ComparePut competing explanations side by side before choosing between them.03ConditionState a hard prerequisite for an outcome.05DecideFrame a decision as a trade-off rather than pretending one option dominates on every dimension.03InferDistinguish suggestive evidence from proof.03LimitSeparate a necessary condition from a sufficient one.03ReframeReframe a debate from whether to act to how to act.04TestTurn a hypothesis into a testable prediction.

Pattern Atlas
Do not start from an internal category code. Start from what you need to do: argue a point, hedge a claim, disagree, compare options, ask a precise question, or communicate at work.
