In ASL is there a specific pattern you are supposed to follow? if so what?
Yes there is. When asking a question put at the end a question sign. Like, for example, "your-name-what". That would be used in order to ask someone his or her name. That is called a WH question.
There is also Object verb format. An example would be, cup-want. Like if you want a cup or you are shopping for cups and are looking at a specific one you want. Object verb is more like English, but its still valid ASL.
Negation is also another way of signing. You negate whatever you are signing. Like, for example, apples-have-none. Meaning, you have no apples or you need to get some apples.
Remember when signing to use facial expressions. Facial expressions are a huge part of ASL grammar and many forget to use them.
There is a lot more, but that should get you started.
