Unit 5 “Talking about Activities”

Lesson 5: 1 Talking about Everyday Activities

ASL Tenses

Tense • Quoted from the Master ASL! textbook, p. 231 • “All languages have ways of talking about past, present or future periods of time. Tense means distinguishing periods of time. In ASL, tense is formed by the addition of certain signs called tense markers to the beginning of a sentence that is then understood to be in the past or future tense. If there are no tense markers, then the sentence is in the present tense. ” • Zinza, J. (2006) Master ASL! Level One. Sign Media. Inc. Burtonsville, MD.

I leave at 10: 00 • Present Tense: I leave at 10: 00 • no tense marker • Past Tense: I left at 10: 00 • adding the past tense marker – PAST/AGO • Future Tense: I will leave at 10: 00 • adding the future tense marker – WILL • Zinza, J. (2006) Master ASL! Level One. Sign Media. Inc. Burtonsville, MD.
