Changing a Verb to Past Tense

There are two ways of Changing a Verb to Past Tense in ASL.

  1.  If you start your ASL sentence with TIME in the past tense (last week, yesterday, a month ago, last year, recently, before), then automatically, all of the verbs that follow will become past tense.
  2. You can take any verb and make it past tense by signing the verb + FINISH.  For example, SAY + FINISH = SAID, or MAKE + FINISH = MADE, or SEE + FINISH = SAW
