B2–C1 · Requests and follow-through · 4 patterns
Make clear requests and follow through
Make a clear, workable request.
01 · Distinct core Frames
Start with genuinely different ways to do the job
4 canonical indexable Frames, deduplicated by reusable formula structure rather than contextual noun substitution.
02 · When to use
Choose the job before the wording
Use Polite request questions when the request is naturally phrased as a question; use Tact and diplomacy when face-saving matters most.
03 · Active retrieval
Produce one sentence before you reveal a model
Say or write one sentence for this job: “Make a clear, workable request.” Then open one Frame above, compare the language move, and rewrite your sentence for a different context.
04 · Continue with reviewed relations
Move from a Frame to a distinction, choice or new sentence
Only already-published relations are shown. Missing relations are not inferred or invented.
01 · How to use this set
Start from the communication job
Make a clear, workable request.
Read the frame, try to complete your own sentence before opening an example, then compare the English structure with its German parallel. The point is retrieval and choice, not passive list reading.
