Through clear demonstrations, you'll learn how to express time periods from specific measures like weeks and months to abstract concepts like "forever" and "always." These fundamental signs are crucial for scheduling, storytelling, and everyday conversations in ASL. Get ready to explore how time is uniquely expressed in sign language! ⏰✨
