*If you want to learn more about animals in ASL, look at the extra linked resources below
Have a partner quiz you by either having sign an animal and you have to guess the animal they are signing or let them give you an animal and you have to sign it without looking at the list.
Now learn how to say some phrases involving animals and try them out with a partner:
With sentence structure in ASL you would put the topic of the sentence first (so the animal) before you put the comment (like or favourite). Then before and after the comment you put the sign for "I/me/my" to indicate that the comment is from you.Â
Ex: (TOPIC I/me/my COMMENT I/me/my)
Ex: Dog my favourite animal my
My favourite animal is...
Whats your favourite animal?
Do you have a pet?
