How do you say I am with in sign language?

You can't literally sign "I am with" in American Sign Language (ASL) because it's not a complete thought. It's like saying "I am..." in English; you need to finish the sentence to make sense.

Here's how you can sign "I am with..." depending on what you want to say:

1. "I am with someone/something"

* Sign "I" (pointing to yourself)

* Sign "BE" (make a "B" handshape and touch your chest)

* Sign "WITH" (make a "W" handshape and move it from your chest outward)

* Sign the person or thing you are with. For example:

* "friend" (sign the sign for "friend")

* "my family" (sign "family" and then point to yourself)

* "the team" (sign "team")

2. "I agree with..."

* Sign "I" (pointing to yourself)

* Sign "AGREE" (make a "Y" handshape and move it down from your chin to your chest)

* Sign "WITH" (make a "W" handshape and move it from your chest outward)

* Sign the thing you agree with. For example:

* "you" (point to the person you are talking to)

* "that idea" (sign "idea" and point to the idea)

3. "I am at..."

* Sign "I" (pointing to yourself)

* Sign "BE" (make a "B" handshape and touch your chest)

* Sign "AT" (make a "C" handshape and tap your chest)

* Sign the location. For example:

* "home" (sign "home")

* "school" (sign "school")

* "the park" (sign "park")

Remember, the context of your sentence will determine the most accurate way to sign it!
