Recognize how a one-time action differs from an action that continues or repeats.

Learn how signing can communicate that an action happens more than once.

See how changes in movement can communicate increasing or sustained intensity.

You want to understand how ASL expresses concepts that English often handles with additional words.

You can describe an action but struggle to communicate whether it was repeated, ongoing, or intensified.

You want your signing to communicate more information without making every sentence longer.

The movement itself can carry information about how an action unfolds.

Instead of mapping every idea onto an English sentence, learn to recognize how ASL expresses the concept visually.

Duration, frequency, and intensity give you a practical framework for recognizing temporal aspect in real signing.
