WH WORD QUESTION-WHEN
In English, a “when” question can be used to ask for either “what day” or “what” time”. In ASL, a “when” question can only be used to ask “what day”
To ask a “when” question, do the following:
- Name the activity
- Raise brows
- Ask “when”
- Lower brows
- Lean head forward
- Hold the last sign (the “when” question sign)
WH-WORD QUESTION--WHAT A PERSON DID/WILL DO
To ask a question about what a person did or will do on a particular day use the sign Do++. It can be signed with both hands or with one hand.
WARNING:
These signs are used to ask questions only. They are not used in a statement. For example, do not use the sign to say the equivalent of “im doing my homework”
Establishing Tense
Time signs usually occur at the beginning of a sentence to establish tense. All following events described are understood as occurring at that time.
If a time sign is not specified, then it is assumed that the events described are in the present tense.
Verbs in ASL are not modified specifically for tense like in some other languages!
Time signs referring to the future tend to move forward; time signs referring to the past tend to move back, and time signs referring to the present are usually signed right in front of the body.
