Context is key! The specific sign for "in" will depend on how it is used in a sentence. If you're unsure, it's always best to ask an ASL interpreter or someone fluent in the language.

Remember, ASL is a visual language, so watching a video demonstration is the best way to learn the sign. You can find many videos online, including those from ASL instructors or dictionaries.
