TENSE INDICATORS


THESE SIGNS ARE USED TO INDICATE THE TIME IN WHICH SOMETHING HAS OR WILL HAPPEN. ASL IS ALWAYS SET UP IN PRESENT TIME UNLESS YOU USE THESE. TENSES ARE PLACED AT THE BEGINNING OR THE END OF THE SENTENCES. THE PREFERENCE IS OFTEN THE BEGINNING TO ESTABLISH TIME RIGHT AWAY IN A CONVERSATION. HOWEVER, THE SIGN WILL IS OFTEN USED ONLY AT THE END.

PRESENT PAST FUTURE
NOW YESTERDAY TOMORROW
BEFORE LAST WILL
TODAY RECENT
JUST LATER
LONG-AGO AFTER-AWHILE
FINISH FAR-IN-FUTURE

***DAYS OF THE WEEK, MONTHS AND YEARS (WITH AND WITHOUT NUMBER INCORPORATION UP TO 9) CAN ALSO BE USED TO ESTABLISH TENSES ( WILL LEARN LATER)


Uses of Finish:
Stop it!
already
bad joke
that's all
all done
past tense

Pronoun incorporation:

Some personal pronouns can incorporate numbers. You may go up to 9.
