TIME TRANSITIONSVocabulary & Grammar
Unit 13
Pauses
• This is the most common type of transition. At the end of an event nod your head slightly, pause your signing, then raise your head to signal the beginning of the next event.
SignWriting here
Unit 13
Dependent or “when” clauses
• This transition happens at the beginning of a sentence and explains when an event happened. This is a time/topic-comment structure, so the eyebrows raise and the head nods downward for the “when” portion, then the eyebrows flatten and head raises during the event explanation. Use this transition to tell about the following:1. Age (When I was 5, I started school.)2. Preceding event (After graduation, I started working)3. Year of event (In 1985, he passed away)
Unit 13
Time signs indicating a period of time
• Use NMS with the later-on sign to show the relative amount of time passed.
Later-on, some-time-later
Short time later Medium time later Long time later
Unit 13
Up-until-now, since
