Difference in structure, difference in meaning?
Hi guys! I'm a bit confused. Do sentences like “Some rabbits eat fruits” and “The rabbits eat some fruits” get signed differently? The first one is signed with this word order : FRUITS SOME RABBITS EAT". How would you sign the other one? Do I have to change the word order for this slight difference, or is it expressed otherwise?

are good vs good
There is a sign for good (open hand at chin moves down) And a sign for "are good" as in apples are good. (Open hand palm up, taps on top of second open hand palm) Is this for grammar reasons? Is there a different sign for "Is good"? As in Brad is good.

Non-gendered word for boyfriend/girlfriend
Does anyone know what the nongendered sign for partner / lover / boyfriend / girlfriend is? I've heard the middle of the face is used for nonbinary people sometimes (rather than the forehead for male signs and the chin for female signs) but I don't know the specific hand motion. Thanks!

The Sign "Big"
So I've started learning ASL not long ago and when I first learned big it was the hooked finger in a swirl going around her head but then in a sentence she did like a hooked finger downward. Can someone explain?
why are these two sentences signed differently?
Hello, I'm so excited to learn asl. I have been using this app for a short while, and I noticed something that I find confusing. There are two sentences you learn in this app, one of them is a video for you to translate, and the other is were you have to put the the signs together to make a sentences. So- the video is saying " my father likes meat. " And the other part- is were you have to put the signs together to say: " my brother likes bacon. " This part is supposed to be signed " Bacon,‐my brother likes " Bacon it the topic, so it's signed first. Okay... but then I watch the video. I understand all the signs, but I notice the woman signs " My Father " first.. So what makes these two different? Why is the Father the main topic sign, but not the brother I hope this make sense, sorry this was long. I'm just struggling with grammar and structure. I think I have a hard time knowing g if the person should be signed first or the verb
Tips
Here is one tip to ALWAYS follow: Remember to look at the signs closely and look of how different they all look. Like, J, J is very diffrent BECAUSE it has a video. Even tho J is hard. You right away know it's just J because it has a video with it. So always to remember of how DIFFRENT the words are. And always understand just look at the difffences
proper grammar
I would really like to learn grammar and sentence structure. I know a little but I mainly sign English word for word.
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
