Master ASL! Unit 5 Sentence/Dialogue Practice

Grammar Focus:

Agent Marker: Adding the PERSON sign to a verb to make it a noun. TEACH + agent marker = TEACHER

Initialization: Taking a base sign for a category and adding an initial to it to narrow the topic: FAMILY, TEAM, GROUP.

Classifiers: Classifiers use a handshape to represent the size, shape and movement of a noun.

Time Spot: the area where most people wear a watch is known as the Time Spot, and it is used to sign time in ASL. Hold your non-dominant hand to create a base for the number sign made by your dominant hand, with the number sign touching the Time Spot. The pattern for hours 1-9 is touching the Time Spot with the number handshape and lifting the number up. For 10-12 touch the Time Spot with the index finger and move up into the number handshape.
