Hello! I am hearing, and new to learning ASL. I still struggle with the order and structure of ASL but I'm doing my best!

In the Objects quiz, the first question is to translate "My car is black." No matter what I try, I get it wrong! I still passed the quiz, but since that was the only one I got wrong... it's bothering me and I would like to know to fix my mistake. What order should the signs come in? My first guess was My - Car - Black, but then I thought maybe Car would come first since it's the subject? Am I overthinking this?

when you go to talk to someone who os deaf, my take is that there is grace. no clue abt the order in the app though, I cannot get it either.

I think some one else made a post about this exact same problem. many people responded to try and help but it I remember correctly the problem was that for some reason the developers made one of the choices the sign for "my" and one other choice was the sign for "mine" which are the exact same sign but only the sign for"my" was correct so you just had to guess which of the two was my and which was mine and if you picked wrong you got the question wrong. it was just a 50/50 guess

communication

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

sign order

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.
