Hi. I'm hard of hearing and am currently taking ASL at my local community college. I've been working my hardest to learn it but am having trouble. It's super important I hlearn how to sign.

Today we are having a test and I need help figuring out how the sentence stucture is for these sentences and which sign to use.

Can you help me figure it out? It would be greatly apreciated.



Mary will paint her house white and blue next week.

How much does the white house cost?

She flew to Washington DC last week.

Sorry! I am late because I got tied up in the traffic.

Excuse me! I need to leave because I have a doctor's appointment.

Bob has 2 boys and 3 cute girls.

Every morning, Jack exercises for one hour, then eats breakfast, and then goes to work.

Pam came up to me and asked me to go to the party with her this Saturday.

I have no plans! What do you want to do?

Keep in mind, ASL sentence structures/order will vary from person to person, no two persons signs exactly the same structure/order.
 
I'll try my best even im ASL storyteller but remember, everyone is different opinions on this. Good luck!
