"Doing"
* Sign the action: The best way to express "doing" in ASL is often by signing the action itself. For example, if you want to say "I am doing laundry," you would sign "WASH CLOTHES."
* Use the sign "WORK": This sign can be used to generally express "doing something" or "working." You would combine this with another sign to clarify the action. For example, "I am doing my homework" would be "HOMEWORK WORK."
* Use the sign "BUSY": This sign can imply that you are "doing something," but it doesn't specify what you're doing.
"In"
* "INSIDE": This sign is used to indicate being inside of something.
* "ON": This sign indicates being on something.
* "WITH": This sign can be used to indicate being "in" a location or group.
* "AT": This sign can indicate being "in" a place.
* "DURING": This sign can indicate being "in" a specific time period.
Examples:
* "I am doing the dishes": "DISH WASH"
* "I am doing homework": "HOMEWORK WORK"
* "I am in the house": "HOUSE INSIDE"
* "I am in the car": "CAR INSIDE"
* "I am in the library": "LIBRARY AT"
* "I am in the park": "PARK AT"
Remember that ASL is a visual language, so context and facial expressions are crucial for understanding meaning. If you are unsure about how to sign something, it's always best to ask a native ASL signer for clarification.
