How do we structure ASL sentences/what is the order?

Grammar 

TIME-SUBJECT/topic COMMENT

Example: EVERY MORNING I BRUSH TEETH I

 

Practice

Write ASL sentences on how often you do the morning routine vocabulary words. Make sure you have a sentence for each vocabulary word (vocabulary on next slide).

TIME-SUBJECT/COMMENT

Example: EVERY MORNING I BRUSH TEETH I

The time goes first in your sentence (look at the examples below)

• Two things you do every year (EVERY YEAR I GO CAMPING I)
• Two things you do every morning (EVERY MORNING I EAT BREAKFAST I)
• Two things you do every week (EVERY WEEK I WORKOUT I)
• Two things you do every night (EVERY NIGHT I BRUSH MY HAIR I)
• Two things you do every afternoon (EVERY AFTERNOON I EAT LUNCH I)
