A.S.L. has its own grammar and structure in sentences that works differently from E.nglish. F.or plurals, verb inflections, word order, etc., learn grammar in the “A.S.L. L.earn” section. F.or search in the dictionary, use the present-time verbs and base words. I.f you look for “said”, look up the word “say”. L.ikewise, if you look for an adjective word, try the noun or vice versa. E..g. T.he A.S.L. signs for F.rench and F.rance are the same. I.f you look for a plural word, use a singular word.
