CEFR StudyA1 German

Action cards: requests

Action cards: requests

Sprechen Teil 3: a picture card shows an object or action — a window, a phone, a door. You make a polite request and your partner reacts.

Two safe patterns from Unit 8:

  • the Sie-imperative with bitte: Öffnen Sie bitte das Fenster!
  • the können-question: Können Sie bitte …?

Separable verbs split: Machen Sie bitte die Tür zu! The reaction is scored too — keep it friendly: Ja, gern.

Tip

Bitte is a useful politeness word: Öffnen Sie bitte das Fenster. Use a request that fits the picture and respond appropriately to your partner.
