Anyone know how can you tell if the temporal aspect is the proper tense, past , present or future? I just realized this after looking at my book.
...like how tense is identified in ASL?
You use a tense marker at some point. So you may start a sentence with PAST-ME-DATE-*insert name here*, because of the PAST you know this is past tense. Or the use of FINISH. So EAT-FINISH means that you already ate, therefore, past tense.
Or WILL-CLEAN means that you will clean in the future.
Is this what you were asking?
