Hey guys so I started learning a few weeks ago but i still don't understand sentence structure. It seems like sometimes the signs are in the order like you would speak but sometimes they're all mixed up. Can so.eone help me understand pls??? 😩🙏

also they only mention sentence order like once in the lessons and they don't really explain it

most of the time the subject of the sentence is going to be first, that's the main rule. so instead of signing "I like your smile" you'd sign "your smile - I like." there are other rules too but it's easier to pick them up once you understand that the subject is first.

I think the rule is time subject to topic

American Sign Language (ASL) typically follows a Time-Topic-Comment or Time-Subject-Verb-Object structure. Establishing the time first sets the tense for the entire sentence. I had to look this up to make sure

can some maybe put an example because I’m still a bit confused
I would really like to learn grammar and sentence structure. I know a little but I mainly sign English word for word.
Hello there I am currently Learning America’s sign language I wanna know how can I get fluent and how do I sign good? Any tips I can get thanks so much
I am wondering when… *The person you are talking about is not present* Say your in a conversation and your talking about “him” or “her”, do you specify in the conversation, “girl” before you point on the side of you or “boy” to be specific in who you are talking about? Thx
I am not sure about sign order. One of the questions in a section exam is to pick the sign order for the phrase “My car is black.” I have tried every combination of selecting the signs for my, car, black … rearranging the signs like “car black my” or “my car black” or “car my black” … and none of them are correct. What is the correct order? My main critique of this app is that it does not adequately teach sentence structure. It mentions it like once and gives no continued instruction to understand how to handle new adjectives.
Hey everyone I hope everyone is doing well! Do y'all have any tips because for some reason it's hard for me to remember and to use. Do anyone else feel the same way? Thx asl fam!!😊😊
